New Hammett's Pickups ? Confirmed ?

Hi guys,

You remember The Night Before Show, and the Custom EMG that Kirk fitted onto his Red Les Paul in the bridge position ?

 

I've spotted a pic last night during their show with the Sharks and I've seen this :

That's right, in one of his standard Vintage he has for heating his fingers up, he has a new EMG Prototype at the neck (or JH ?) with plots. Don't know if he has a new one in the bridge position too ... 

It's seems like we'll have new signature pickup over 2016 or 2017 

Cheers,

G.

ESP 348

That might be the better way to go about it Mark.

 Well I had to dig up this thread again, looks like they are out now! Standard EMG logo with green lettering... good choice there! May need to check these out!

edit :  Didn't see these at the bottom of the product page.

Even though the videos shows the KH sig plastered all over the purple guitar pickups, they haven't said those are available separately.

It was posted elsewhere that there would be a special limited quantity release of those with the covers too.

Thanks. I don't plan on purchasing the special limited quantity ones, was just curious they posted only the green logo version.

You reckon Andertons and GAK will have these in stock shortly? Who else to try? I normally get my bits and pieces from GAK. only found out about guitarguitar after the ouija was being released and they got it.

HateEvent

GAK and Andertons will be the most likely to have quick stock of them here yeah! GuitarGuitar will no doubt have them available soon too though! I’m keen to try them, so I’ll keep an eye out for them at each place!

I hope the ESP version of the purple sparkle comes with special edition BBs with the KH signature. Looks way cool on his guitar.

Breadfan32

Agree

ArmyVeteran

It looks like those are for kirk only

Dave R.

The ESP version will come with the KH engraved metalworks pickups.

What timeline for the ESP version?

This might not tell the whole story but....

 

Pushead

Yeah, the 60a is a great pickup. Lol at green logos on existing pickups for Kirk.

Road King

Wow, could have at least added a built-in wah.

Green logos = $$$

Cheers mate, that's not too bad.

If you go to the EMG website and place in your cart,  they'll send you a 10% coupon. Drops them to 179 with free shipping.  I'm curious if you all think it's worth the upgrade from the standard 60/81. 

dubster82

Judging by the chart you just have to replace the 60 for a 60a. If you don't like it, swap it back. Unless EMG come out and actually say there is a difference. Certainly be a lot cheaper, and you don't have to have green logo's, win win.

This seems like a lazy attempt at custom pickups... 

dubster82

The only guitar I could see with these green logo's is the greenburst SE, I think that would look awesome.

Tondog

A slight smudge with a black marker should take care of that whole "green" thing on the logo.

 

Guiguitarz

I just ordered them ... I'm a bloody victim 

Flying Dutchmen

Well if you like green logo's  http://www.emgpickups.com/kh-bb-set.html

I know exactly where they will go. Wait and See... Big D has a sneak peak already, but he can't tell.
