EMG H4 Passive Humbucker Pickup

EMG H4 – Passive Humbucker Pickup

If you want EMG-level raw punch without the battery, the EMG H4 Passive Humbucker is made for you. It blends the aggressive power of the EMG 81 with the feel and soul of a classic PAF-style humbucker. 

At the core of its tone are over-wound coils with ceramic bar magnets, giving tight lows, glassy mids and crunchy highs. It’s fully shielded to cut down on noise, making it a go-to for high-output bridge work. 

Key Features:

• Passive design with big output, no battery needed. 

• Ceramic bar magnets & over-wound coils for tone that pushes hard but stays articulate. 

• Fully shielded to reduce hum and interference. 

• Designed especially for bridge position, though many players appreciate it in neck too. 

• Works with EMG’s solderless / quick-connect installation system. 

Tone Character & Use:

Crunchy, high-gain leads, tight rhythm work, and modern rock/metal tones are where the H4 shines. It’s beefy enough to drive power amps hard and clean enough that your clean tones still sound rich.
