EMG KH20 Kirk Hammett Active Wired Pickguard

Mount Kirk Hammett's pickguard on your guitar! This pre-wired pickguard features an EMG-81, a pair of EMG-S single-coils, and black tone and volume knobs.

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

Kirk Hammett talks about how EMG pickups shaped his tone:

I took a budget Squier guitar and replaced everything except for the pickups. I looked through different pickguards but always kept coming back to this one. Finally pulled the trigger on it and I am so glad I did. I knew these were going to be good but I didn't know that it would be a difference of night and day. Distortion I knew would be great, but I overlooked how clean the guitar plays now. The Squier sounds like its chiming when played. The pickups are worth more than what they are sold for. My cheapest guitar is the one I'm reaching for first now. Thanks zZounds for what you do. If you want to see me install it go to Land Of Medz on youtube. https://youtu.be/Tngaj1x9ENk
