EMG H2A-B Long Shaft Passive Humbucker Pickup in Chrome

The H2A-B excels in rock, blues, and indie applications where natural dynamics and articulate note separation are priorities. It is not optimized for metal or djent styles, where tighter output and more aggressive harmonic coloration are typically preferred.

Yes. The included 5-wire cable supports series/parallel switching and independent single/dual-coil operation, giving you flexibility to voice the pickup across different configurations without additional wiring modifications.

The H2A-B is purely passive—it requires no active electronics or batteries. It delivers warm fundamentals and controlled harmonics through its Alnico/Steel magnet construction and dual resonant peaks, while preserving natural dynamic response and transparent interaction with your amplifier.

The standard 0.388 inch pole piece spacing accommodates conventional guitar dimensions. However, fit depends on your specific guitar's pickup cavity and mounting system; verify your guitar's specifications before ordering.

Expect a warm fundamental with articulate midrange, shaped by dual resonant peaks at 2.12 kHz and 3.82 kHz. The 8.40 kOhm DC resistance and controlled harmonic content deliver balanced dynamics and note separation without harshness, with a vintage-inflected character.
