## Description

The H4 is EMG's best selling passive humbucker for guitar. Combining the power of our active 81 with the soul of a passive PAF, this pickup produces a well balanced tone, with tight bass response, glassy mids, and crunchy highs. These tonal features are achieved by utilizing over wound coils loaded with ceramic bar magnets that are fully shielded to reduce noise. This high output pickup is often used in the bridge position where it shines with excellent range, responsiveness, and sweet harmonics. If you want a big rock or heavy modern guitar sound, this is the pickup for you.

Review: Excellent tone. - This in the bridge, with an H4A in the neck. Killer combo. More organic sounding than their active counterparts. Installation kit was wonderful.
Review: easy and worth it - my old PS2 humbucker and wires finally quit. I never use the single coils so I removed them but you do not have to. It sounds great, easy to install and comes with everything you need to to replace the humbucker.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Wiring kit included?**
A: Yes. The pickup requires a special connector for the wires, which is included. It has no effect, really, on how you mount the pup except that you will not be able to mount it directly to the guitar body. Most guitars don't use direct mounts do it will probably work on yours.

**Q: Will the included pots fit a Les Paul? Short or long shafts on the pots?**
A: You have to specify short or long pot shafts when you order.  The have them both ways/

**Q: Is this pickup f spaced, or does it not matter with emg style pickups, also, how would direct mount this. No batteries?Can you use a 250-500k pot.**
A: Bar magnet, so it works in either position or F spaced. Uses 500k pot.

**Q: will this fit a korean made epiphone les paul?**
A: These are standard size humbuckers, as long as your Les Paul currently has standard humbuckers (not mini-humbuckers or P90's) than these will fit.

my old PS2 humbucker and wires finally quit. I never use the single coils so I removed them but you do not have to. It sounds great, easy to install and comes with everything you need to to replace the humbucker.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great pickup for bridge!!!
*by B***P on January 31, 2024*

great pickup, use in bridge. Love it better for distortion than the H4A alnico which has great cleans....like seriously cleans like I have never heard before out of my Mesa Boogie clean chan. Simple install, GET THE GROUND WIRE WELL GROUNDED, used a bit of copper foil for under the bridge when mounting into the wood. Works great!!! highly recommend, not a fan of activate pickups and changing batteries. Have used these in my fender strat (tom delonge edition) as well as my ESP LTD TE-201
