EMG KHBB-LS Set Spectrium: Limited Edition Signature Power

The EMG KHBB-LS Set Spectrium is a set of active humbuckers designed in collaboration with Kirk Hammett to deliver the hallmark Metallica tones for modern players. Only available in 2026, this exclusive run sports the Spectrum metalworks finish commemorating EMG’s half-century milestone. High output and detailed preamp refinement ensure a balance between massive gain and articulate cleans. The KHBB-LS Set Spectrium brings Kirk Hammett’s aggressive voice to a broad spectrum of genres, offering versatility beyond metal.

Standout Features

Visually, the Spectrum finish distinguishes this model and is reserved for the anniversary edition. The unique Bone Breaker voicing is achieved through careful preamp tuning and a combination of ceramic bridge and Alnico 5 neck magnets for extra tonal flexibility.

High-Output Versatility for Modern Guitarists

Musicians will appreciate how the set delivers both high-gain aggression and clear, noise-free cleans—an uncommon pairing in active pickups. The Bone Breaker set ensures string definition even under heavy distortion, and the neck pickup introduces warmth for expressive leads and phrasing.

• Magnets: Ceramic (bridge), Alnico 5 (neck) — delivers punchy attack and smooth rhythm playing
• High output means your tones remain bold and defined, never muddy, even at extreme gain settings.
• Preamp: Specially tuned — makes it possible to switch between heavy gain and solid cleans

Professional Installation & Solderless System

Installing this set is straightforward thanks to the exclusive EMG solderless system. Quick upgrades become accessible to both seasoned modders and first-timers with minimal effort.

• Connection: Solderless system — speeds up installation and future changes
• Included hardware: 2 x 25k volume pots, 2 x 25k tone pots, battery bus, stereo output jack, all necessary cables
• The inclusion of short shaft potentiometers (10 mm) ensures the pickups fit many popular guitars.

Anniversary Edition Appeal

The exclusive Spectrum finish and 2026-only production turn the set into a desirable collector’s item, while the complete EMG solderless kit and USA build add value and distinction.
