Kirk Hammett Signature Humbuckers
If you want to harness Kirk Hammett’s tone, you need the right building blocks — and his sound has always started with EMG pickups. His signature Bone Breaker active humbuckers benefit from a tweaked preamp, as well as a powerful combination of Alnico V and ceramic magnets. These moderate-output humbuckers aren’t limited to paint-peeling high-gain tones, either (although they pull those off nicely). Rather, they’re capable of both crushing grind and bell-like clarity without sacrificing gain for clean or vice-versa. Whether you’re aiming for crisp leads or smooth rhythm sounds, EMG’s Bone Breakers place Kirk’s trademark tone right in your hands.
Kirk Hammett’s tone begins with EMG
Kirk Hammett’s guitar tones have been in the spotlight for more than 30 years. As the lead guitarist of Metallica, his fluid solos and punishing riffs have cemented his place in thrash metal history. Kirk has always been admired for his brutal-yet-tasteful tone, and EMG knew he wouldn’t put his name on generic high-output humbuckers. “Metallica’s crunch sound is often cleaner than people expect,” says Kirk. “My taste in tone has definitely changed over the years. I don’t like to use as much distortion these days — I prefer my tone to be nice and crisp.” And that’s exactly what you get with his signature pickups. The guitarists here at AJ’s Music & The Music Man appreciate the quality tones that Bone Breakers deliver. From crushing saturation to smooth cleans, these pickups sound great in any setting.
