EMG Kirk Hammett Bone Breaker Signature Humbucker Pickup Set - Black-NEW

In brief: Signature Active Humbucking Pickup Set

Capture the legendary tone of Metallica’s lead shredder with the EMG KH Bone Breaker Signature Humbucker Set. Designed to deliver the dynamic range and tonal flexibility Kirk Hammett demands, these active pickups blend Alnico V and ceramic magnets with a custom-voiced preamp for a truly versatile sound.

Unlike typical high-output pickups, the Bone Breakers are fine-tuned to provide both crushing metal tones and articulate clean sounds, allowing you to shift from punishing rhythms to crystal-clear leads without sacrificing clarity or gain. Whether you're dialing in tight, aggressive crunch or soaring melodic solos, this set delivers the exact tonal balance Kirk relies on—bold, crisp, and always controlled.

Kirk’s iconic tone has defined thrash metal for decades, and now, you can wield that same sonic power. As Kirk says, “I prefer my tone to be nice and crisp”—and that’s precisely what the Bone Breakers are built for.
