EMG Pickups announces the release of new special edition finishes for each of the Metallica signature sets in celebration of its 50th anniversary. These finish options will only be available during 2026, making each of these sets limited edition collectors’ items that provide the performance EMG users expect.
In collaboration with James Hetfield, the JH “Het” Set is now available in a custom sandblasted stainless-steel cap. This set is known for its cutting attack and open headroom and is perfect for creating a vintage look while providing the articulate response expected from an active EMG pickup set.
Kirk Hammett brings a mystifying new look to his popular KH-BB “Bone Breaker” Set with the all-new spectrum finish. The KH-BB Set is based on the classic 81/60A setup that Kirk used for years, now with a multicolored metal cap that is sure to turn heads in any guitar.
By popular demand, Rob Trujillo’s signature RT “Rip Tide” Set will now be available with gold metal caps. When this set was initially released, it marked the release of the first jazz bass pickup in a metal cap, and now it is available in an impressive gold finish that will make a statement tonally and visually.
Celebrate 50 years of active EMG innovation with one of these limited-edition pickup sets.
