Pickup Set for Electric Guitar

The James Hetfield signature set captures the clarity and punch of a passive pickup while maintaining the well-known "active" tone. They were designed according to the pickups James Hetfield has been using for 30 years. More power and a fuller low-end at the neck position, tight attack with less inductance for a cleaner bass at the bridge.

Perfect for Thrash Metal ... and more !
Carlos Martins 30.04.2024
This set is a good alternative for the classic 81/85 - 81/60 combo ! A bit more open and less compressed, but still carries a looot of punch !

It does the Thrash Metal thing super well and can be also used in other genres with no problem. Neck position delivers beautiful cleans, while the bridge brings a lot of power and harmonics.

I was expecting a tad bit more volume, but nothing drastic that would be a deal breaker - I think that`s just the psychological reaction when you buy something with James name on it.

Hell yeah!
SvenVL 24.06.2024
I purchased these pickups to replace the EMG 81/60 combo in my ESP EX. Installation was a breeze thanks to the solderless system. As soon as I plugged in my guitar. WOW. A larger dynamic range, more output, these are LOUD. 10/10 would recommend, and not just for Metallica songs.
