Audacious tonal tenacity from EMG JH signature humbucking pickups

James Hetfield requested a set of sleek-looking active pickups from EMG. He wanted his pickups to have the clarity and punch of passive pickups while still retaining the classic EMG character, and they delivered with the JH Het Set you'll find on the LTD James Hetfield Iron Cross SW Signature guitar. The neck pickup uses ceramic pole pieces for a fuller attack, higher output, and a beefier low end. The bridge pickup uses steel pole pieces for a tighter attack and cleaner lows. Between the two, you've got a world of tone to explore with the ESP LTD James Hetfield Iron Cross SW Signature guitar.
