EMG H Active Single Coil Pickup in Ivory
The EMG H captures the crystalline clarity and articulation of a true single-coil voice without the hum that compromises tracking and mix clarity. Its compact footprint and Ivory finish with gold logo integrate seamlessly into any instrument's aesthetic. This is a workhorse pickup for recording and live sessions where articulate, noise-free performance across genres is non-negotiable.
Tone & Recording Character
A single-coil pickup housed in a humbucking format, the EMG H combines the tonal definition of a classic single-coil with electromagnetic shielding that eliminates 60-cycle noise—critical for tracking clean guitars in any session. The ceramic magnet construction delivers a bright, responsive character that cuts through dense mixes and defines rhythm tones with precision, making it equally effective for lead work and textured layering.
Installation & Studio Workflow
This model ships complete with everything needed for immediate installation and deployment: prewired split shaft volume and tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws, springs, and EMG's Quik-Connect cable for fast wiring. The standardized dimensions and included hardware mean professional setup without sourcing additional components, reducing downtime between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and a traditional single-coil pickup?
The EMG H houses a single-coil design inside a humbucking-sized format with electromagnetic shielding, eliminating 60-cycle noise while preserving the bright, articulate tone of a classic single-coil. Traditional single-coils are prone to hum; this design solves that problem without sacrificing the tonal character.
What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?
The EMG H excels in rock, blues, country, pop, and studio sessions. Its responsive, noise-free character is ideal for cutting leads and defined rhythm tones. It is not recommended for metal or djent styles, which typically require higher output and different tonal characteristics.
What's included in the package, and do I need to buy additional wiring components?
The pickup ships complete with a prewired split-shaft volume and tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, mounting screws, springs, and EMG's Quik-Connect cable. No additional components are needed for installation.
What skill level do I need to install this?
The EMG H is suitable for beginner through professional players. The included Quik-Connect cable and prewired controls simplify installation; a basic understanding of guitar wiring is helpful but the kit removes most sourcing and assembly work.
How does the Ivory finish and compact size look in a guitar?
The Ivory cover with gold logo and standardized humbucking housing dimensions integrate seamlessly into most instruments' aesthetics without requiring routing or major modifications.
