EMG HAX Long Shaft Active Single Coil Pickup in Black

The kit includes the pickup itself, a 25k volume pot, active tone pot (VLPF), battery bus, stereo output jack, two pickup bus connectors, mounting screws, springs, pickup cable, two connect cables, output cable, and battery cable. Everything is designed for EMG's Solderless Install System, so no soldering is required.

Yes, the HAX is designed to retrofit into standard humbucker-sized cavities using the long-shaft configuration. The compact form factor preserves the single-coil tonal character while fitting the full-size housing footprint.

The onboard X preamp ensures completely noiseless operation while delivering dynamic control and transparent gain staging, eliminating the hum typical of passive single coils. Tone remains articulate and bright with excellent pick definition, without coloration from the preamp.

The HAX is optimized for modern rock and extended-range styles, with a bright, articulate character designed for clarity and pick definition. For traditional jazz and blues applications requiring warmth and vintage character, other pickup designs may be better suited.

The Solderless Install System makes setup straightforward for intermediate and advanced players. No soldering knowledge is needed, though basic familiarity with guitar electronics and cavity layout is helpful.
