Kirk Hammett first visited EMG back in the early 80's when Metallica was a local group on the rise. We worked closely with him to release his first Pro-Series system, the KH20. Fast forward many years and Metallica is still leading the pack and Kirk still depends on EMGs for his signature tone.

This Pro-Series system, the EMG KH21, is an 81/81 dual humbucker combination which utilizes powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, creating a guitar tone with detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut, and fluid sustain. This setup comes with two volumes and a one master tone all wired to a custom 11-hole white pearl pickguard with contrasting black knobs.

Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models.

All EMG Pickups are built to order. Estimated shipping is between 7-14 business days.

    I bought these pick ups since my single coils broke. I’m not disappointed. Crunchy sound and to top it all off these baby’s are super simple to install. Only work I had to do is make the hole were the input jack wires run through bigger. Other than that I can’t recommend these pick ups enough.

    I got these pickups for my Strat type guitar that had single coils. I could never really get the great crunchy heavy metal sound. The og pickups were really crappy so I figured id try EMG. These guys don't disappoint as soon as I did the install(which was like 5 minutes)I was in metal. All the riffs that I knew actually sounded like songs and my tone changed drastically and when I hit the solos, it screams man no joke.
