EMG H2-B Long Shaft Passive Humbucker Pickup in Chrome

The H2-B delivers a midrange-forward response with articulate attack and controlled sustain, shaped by dual resonant peaks at 2.22 kHz and 4.00 kHz. It's voiced for classic rock, blues, and moderate-gain tones with natural dynamics and a balanced output level that works well in passive signal chains.

The H2-B is fully passive with ceramic magnet construction—no active electronics, no battery required, and no power supply needed. It simplifies your wiring and maintenance while delivering classic character without an active noise floor.

The long shaft H2-B is a drop-in replacement for standard humbucker cavities and pairs optimally with 500K potentiometers. Its solderless connector system makes installation and removal quick and straightforward.

The H2-B excels in blues, classic rock, hard rock, and studio sessions. It is not recommended for metal, djent, or extended-range tunings where higher output and articulation are typically preferred.

Unlike active EMG models, the H2-B runs entirely passive with no batteries or power supply, making it simpler to maintain and ideal for players who prefer traditional wiring. The passive design delivers a more natural dynamic response with slightly lower output and no active noise floor.
