Kirk Hammett first visited EMG back in the early 80's when Metallica was a local group on the rise. The KH20 system joins the EMG-81 with a pair of EMG-S single-coil pickups. These pickups are all built around ceramic magnets for the tightest, most controlled sound. They're mated with a five-position switch and master volume and tone controls. Simple, no-nonsense, and as direct as a flamethrower!

The KH20 comes pre-assembled on a custom Pearl White pickguard with contrasting black knobs.

When you're playing in front of 30,000 moshing fans and 750,000 watts of lights, reliability and quiet operation become very important - but never more important than having that killer tone. Install the KH20 system in your guitar and you'll hear why Kirk (and James Hetfield, too!) place EMG at the center of their sound.

WARNING - Your standard Strat-style body may require additional routing at the bridge pickup position to accommodate the larger humbucking pickup.

Package Includes: Prewired to the specifications of each artist. Complete and ready to mount to your guitar.
