Artist usage
Add artist
On Jim Root's artist page it states that while he usually uses a "EMG 81/60 combo" under "EMG GEAR/" it also states that he has used a EMG HA on his guitars. The website also has a small box where they descibe the pickup: "The HA pickup is EMG's original single-coil pickup design in a humbucker housing. The HA has the same noiseless operation and clarity as its single coil brother which debuted in 1974. Featuring an Alnico magnet, this pickup provides the widest possible frequency response for clarity, warmth and a rich blend of harmonics. This pickup is an excellent choice for the rhythm guitarist who needs added definition for chording, or for lead work when the bright attack of a single coil pickup is desired. The solderless installation makes this pickup easy to install at home."
