H4 Passive Electric Guitar Humbucker Pickup, Black

I purchased the EMG H4 to put in my Jackson PS4 Performer that I bought in 2001. I never cared for the stock Jackson pickups, and before the EMG I had a Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge. I can honestly say that this guitar has never sounded as good as it does now. The H4 is a passive pickup and comes with a jack, wiring harnesses, tone and volume knob using EMG's proprietary wiring hook-ups, no soldering necessary. I still need to get the mid and neck pickups along with a switch, but will do that over time. I get an amazing sound from it, and it really does give new life to an old guitar. I love it.

I put a SD invader in my Les Paul and suddenly the Jackson was not doing it for me anymore, not wanting them both the same I went with this EMG. Supposed to be their hottest passive pup. So in it goes, first I bypassed putting the supplied pots in and just spliced it in the one I took out and I really didn't think it sounded that good. So I went back in and did the pots also. It's not as easy when you're not installing 2 at a time cause they don't put using only replacing one in a 2 pup system in the directions. But I got it in and I think it sounds better now. Not quite as mean as the invader though. But I like it.

This pickup was amazing and far better than I expected. I woke up this morning and went to check the mail and suprisingly it was there, considering the fact that I ordered it 3 days ago! The package was very nice and organized and emg even threw in a couple of stickers! I am a teenager who had no experience in changing pickups prior to today and I found it extremely easy to install these. The instructions and diagrams are easily read and have 3 to 4 scenarios to match your guitar setup. The only problem I had was some feedback on my amp and that was my fault for not installing the ground wire correctly, but other than that all was smooth! I highly recommend this pickup to anybody who wants a nice metal sound for a very cheap price!

I bought this for a build and it installed super easy! No soldering whatsoever. I installed for use with only a volume pot, and the directions claimed that I may need to solder in 1 spot for the input jack, but I actually fit it on the input jack without any soldering. That's the best part of these new EMG's, no soldering! I find this to be the best passive EMG pickup before the active series (that's if your into those). It's just heavy dark lows that really rip with heavy distortion. They are relatively cheap too, a great alternative to active.

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.

One day I was just browsing the emg pickups, and mistakenly ordered this with Amazon's one click buy function. It was something I had wanted for a cheap guitar that I liked to play, but didn't think I needed it then. I was surprised when it showed up 3 days later, after thinking I only looked at it online. While it may have been ordered by mistake, I am glad I decided to keep it. Up until this pickup I had never done any work on a guitars internal workings and was nervous about doing so. But let me tell you, EMG makes installing these extremely easy, especially if you have a guitar with only one pickup. Their solder free installation is so easy and effective. They have diagrams to show the the setups for multiple scenarios. I was able to install the pickup in 30 minutes (would have been less but I had to modify the guitar a little to fit it), and it worked without any problems and made my cheap guitar sound much better. Not to mention I love looks of the emg pickups, and goes well with my all black guitar. I am extremely satisfied with my mistake, and will be buying more EMG pickups in the future.

Haven't hooked it up yet but I got a used pup , missing wires and missing pots . I dont use a tone pot but I would be upset if I needed one . Missing ground wire as well. We will see if it works and go from there

great pickups when they work. the most recent one I ordered came with the wrong wiring kit(active instead of passive kit) so it had to be returned. just doesn't work without the right wires.
