Description
EMG H Active Single Coil Pickup in Black Chrome
The EMG H delivers articulate single-coil character in a compact humbucker housing, engineered to capture clarity and definition without electromagnetic noise during tracking and mixing sessions. This active pickup combines EMG's noiseless technology with straightforward installation, making it accessible for both retrofit projects and new builds in the home studio.
Active Electronics & Recording-Grade Noise Performance
Built on active circuitry, the EMG H operates with zero hum and zero feedback—a critical advantage when tracking guitars in electrically noisy home-studio environments. The ceramic magnet structure produces the signature single-coil bite and articulation that cuts through dense mixes, while the active amplification stage maintains consistent output across varied playing dynamics and session takes.
Studio Installation & Complete System
Solderless Quik-Connect™ wiring eliminates the need for a soldering iron, streamlining both installation and future swaps between instruments or studio setups. The pickup ships complete with a volume and tone control set, output jack, battery clip assembly, and mounting hardware—everything required for a complete drop-in retrofit and ready-to-record operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this pickup come with everything I need to install it?
Yes. The EMG H ships with a complete control set (volume and tone), output jack, battery clip assembly, mounting hardware, screws, and springs. You'll also get the solderless Quik-Connect cable system, so no soldering iron is required.
How does the EMG H stay quiet in noisy electrical environments?
It uses active circuitry with zero hum and zero feedback, eliminating the electromagnetic noise that passive single-coils pick up. The ceramic magnet design preserves single-coil bite while the active amplification stage keeps output consistent and clean across your playing dynamics.
Is this a true single-coil tone, or does it sound like a humbucker?
It delivers genuine single-coil character—articulate bite, clear definition, and presence—but housed in a compact humbucker form factor. This means single-coil tonality without the size constraint or noise issues of traditional single-coil pickups.
What skill level do I need to install this pickup?
The solderless Quik-Connect system makes installation accessible to beginners and retrofitters alike. No soldering skills are required, and all necessary hardware and connectors are included for a straightforward drop-in swap.
What genres and playing styles suit this pickup?
It works well for home recording, studio sessions, gigging, and extended-range playing where clarity and hum-free operation matter. It's not designed for traditional jazz or vintage-tone purist applications that favor warmer, more passive characters.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
