Description
EMG H Active Single Coil Pickup in Gold
The EMG H captures articulate, punchy single-coil character without the noise floor that complicates recording and mixing. Housed in a humbucker footprint, this active pickup installs cleanly into standard cavities and records with immediate clarity across all gain settings. The gold finish provides visual appeal while the ceramic magnet structure cuts through dense layering and dense amp settings with remarkable definition, translating to tracks that sit cleanly in a mix.
Tone & Electronics for Recording
Ceramic magnets yield a brighter, more aggressive response than alnico alternatives, essential for high-gain and modern production where articulation and frequency separation matter in the mix. Active circuitry powered by a 9V battery eliminates hum and RF interference while delivering consistent output regardless of cable runs or impedance loads, ensuring reliable tracking and reamping without surprises or signal degradation across multiple takes and overdubs.
Studio Installation & Workflow
The solderless installation system eliminates downtime—connectors push together without rewiring, getting the instrument into your session fast. A complete kit ships with all necessary electronics: 25k volume pot, 25k tone pot, battery bus, stereo output jack, mounting hardware, and connection cables, making this a turnkey retrofit for most solid-body designs without studio tech intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the box?
The kit ships with the pickup itself, a 25k volume potentiometer, 25k tone potentiometer, battery bus, stereo output jack, mounting hardware, connection cables, and all connectors needed for solderless assembly. No soldering iron required.
Will this fit my guitar without routing?
Yes—the pickup is housed in standard humbucker dimensions and installs directly into existing humbucker cavities. No routing or extensive modification needed.
How does active circuitry benefit live and studio performance?
Active electronics eliminate hum and RF interference while delivering consistent output regardless of cable length or load, ensuring clean, reliable tone in any rig or recording chain. The ceramic magnets also provide brighter, more aggressive response suited to high-gain contexts.
Is soldering required to install this?
No—the solderless connection system uses push-together connectors, making installation straightforward without need for a soldering iron or rewiring.
What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?
Ideal for metal, hard rock, progressive, and high-gain contexts where articulation and noise rejection matter most. Not recommended for traditional jazz or vintage blues applications.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces such as eBay, Reverb and Amazon collect sales tax in nearly every state as marketplace facilitators no matter who the seller is, so the same item at the same price costs less bought direct.
