EMG James Hetfield JH "Het" Set Sandblasted

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of EMG Pickups, the JH Het Set is now available in an all-new custom sandblasted stainless-steel cap. Only available in 2026, these pickups will make any guitar stand out with their unique look and the crushing tone that made them an instant classic.

Both the neck and bridge positions were patterned after the pickups James had used for 30 years, but the end result was a completely different animal. The JH-N has individual ceramic poles and bobbins that feature a larger core and are taller than the 60. This produces more attack, higher output, and fuller low end in the neck position. The JH-B uses the same type of core but has steel pole pieces, unlike the 81 that uses bar magnets. This produces the familiar tight attack with less inductance for a cleaner low end.

Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models.
