EMG Revelation Long Shaft Passive Humbucker Pickup Set in Brushed Gold
The EMG Revelation passive humbucker set captures warm, articulate recordings with the vintage character of Alnico II magnets and hand-wound custom bobbins. These covered pickups maintain clarity across the frequency spectrum while rejecting hum, making them an effective retrofit for studios and home setups seeking passive warmth without sacrificing modern construction standards. The included solderless connectivity and complete wiring harness streamline the installation process and get tracking underway quickly.
Electrical Performance & Tone Character
Rated at 13.8 kOhm (neck) and 13.5 kOhm (bridge) DC resistance with inductance values of 8.00 H (neck) and 7.16 H (bridge), these pickups operate in the mid-output range where articulation remains pronounced in the mix. Resonant frequencies of 3.25 kHz (neck) and 3.41 kHz (bridge) center the response in the vocal midrange, ensuring defined note separation and balanced sustain—qualities that translate well to overdub and layering sessions across multiple positions.
Construction & Studio Setup
The 4-wire plus shield construction and solderless connectivity system integrate with standard studio electronics without complications. A complete accessory package—including two 500K volume pots, two 500K tone pots, stereo output jack, pickup cables, and mounting hardware—ships with the set, reducing setup time and keeping the focus on recording.

At a Glance
The EMG Revelation passive humbucker set captures warm, articulate tone with defined midrange character that sits naturally in a mix without coloration from onboard electronics. Mid-output impedance and resonant frequencies centered around 3.3 kHz ensure vocal clarity and note separation across recording sessions, while Alnico II magnets and hand-wound construction deliver authentic vintage response suitable for blues, rock, and jazz tracking. The complete wiring harness and solderless connectivity reduce setup friction in the studio, and passive operation means zero noise floor concerns during recording and mixing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the Revelation pickup set?
The set includes two covered humbucker pickups (neck and bridge), a complete wiring harness with two 500K volume pots, two 500K tone pots, stereo output jack, pickup cables, and mounting hardware. No additional parts are needed for a standard HH configuration on a 6-string guitar.
Are these pickups suitable for metal or high-gain styles?
No. The Revelation is voiced for blues, rock, jazz, and classic rock—genres where articulation and midrange definition are priorities. The mid-output design and warm character make it less suitable for metal or djent styles that benefit from higher output and scooped EQ.
How do the Revelations compare to vintage-style pickups like the Gibson '57 Classic or Seymour Duncan '59?
The Revelation matches their warm, vintage voicing and uses Alnico II magnets like those classic designs. The key difference is modern construction: solderless connectivity, hum rejection, and a complete wiring harness are included, eliminating the sourcing and soldering that older retrofit jobs demand.
What does 'long shaft' mean?
Long shaft refers to the length of the pickup's mounting hardware, which accommodates guitars with deeper pickup cavities or thicker mounting rings. Confirm your guitar's cavity depth before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Do these pickups require active electronics or a battery?
No. The Revelation is completely passive—no onboard electronics, preamp, or battery required. They connect directly to your guitar's standard passive volume and tone controls.
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. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $17 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
