Magnificent metal tones
The sound of a genre. Metallica have been the kings of heavy metal for decades, and are one of the most successful bands ever to be born out of the music style. This is in no small part down to Kirk Hammett's scintillating, distinctive lead lines. With this EMG KH20 Pickup system, you'll be able to access that unique, thrilling sound that has helped the band pass into music legend.
Amazing clarity is ensured by an EMG 81 humbucker. This pickup is masterful at eliminating excess noise, meaning every note you play will sound clear and pure. For this reason, it's perfect for live performance at high volume, making sure your audience hear your guitar lines sounding exactly as you intend them to.
A duo of single-coil pickups bring raw power and a dynamic tonal range. You'll be able to solo with exhilarating sound, always giving your playing a full, defined quality. The broad range afforded by these pickups makes this system superbly versatile, too. From the bottom to the top of your guitar's fretboard, the KH20 Set will communicate your music with rich, sharp sound. Everything about this system is designed with metal in mind, making it ideal for adding a raw, energetic quality to your music.
Ready to use
The brilliance of the KH20 set doesn't end at the amazing sonic possibilities it gives you. It's also fantastically simple to fit to your guitar. All controls come pre-mounted and pre-wired on an attractive white pearl pickguard. This will install without the need for a soldering iron, making the process quick and easy. You'll be able to start enjoying your guitar's new, upgraded heavy metal sound almost as soon as you've got the system out of the box.
