The EMG H4A is a remarkable passive humbucking guitar pickup with standard spacing. It offers warmth, body, and amazing clarity, making it incredibly versatile. Whether you're into blues, rock, or metal, this high - output pickup is a perfect fit. The tone is well - balanced, featuring solid bass, prominent mids, and rich highs. Its response comes from vintage wound coils with Alnico V bar magnets. These are fully shielded to minimize noise. The H4A is often placed in the neck position. When paired with its ceramic magnet counterpart, the H4 in the bridge, it creates a unique tone balance. With superb clarity, full body, and delicate responsiveness, it suits almost every music style. The package includes EMG's exclusive solderless install system, such as a 500K volume pot, a 500K tone pot, a mono output jack, a two - pickup in/out bus, a pair of mounting screws and springs, a pickup cable, two connect cables, an output cable, and a ground cable.
Using the EMG H4A pickup is easy. First, if you're using the included solderless install system, follow the instructions to connect the 500K volume pot, 500K tone pot, mono output jack, and other components. Place the H4A in the neck position of your guitar as it is commonly used there. You can pair it with the H4 in the bridge for a great tone combination. When you play, you'll notice the balanced tone right away. For best results, make sure all the cables are properly connected. As for maintenance, keep your guitar and the pickup clean. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can affect its performance. If you have any problems, check the connections first. If issues persist, contact EMG's customer service.
