EMG James Hetfield Signature Set in Sandblasted Finish - Short Shaft, Standard Spacing (Open Box)

James Hetfield "HET" JH Sandblasted Set

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of EMG Pickups, the JH Het Set is available with a custom sandblasted stainless steel cap. Available only in 2026, these pickups offer a unique look with the powerful tone that made them a modern classic.

Both the neck and bridge positions are based on pickups James used for 30 years, with updated construction. The JH-N features individual ceramic poles and bobbins with a larger core and increased height, delivering more attack, higher output, and fuller low end in the neck position. The JH-B uses a similar core design with steel pole pieces instead of bar magnets, producing a tight attack with lower inductance and a cleaner low end.

Features

• Limited 2026 sandblasted stainless steel cap design
• JH-N neck pickup with ceramic poles and larger core for increased output and low end
• JH-B bridge pickup with steel pole pieces for tight attack and cleaner low end
• Based on long term pickup designs used by James Hetfield

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