Build #1: Electronics... EMG \m/

So, a very special piece of this build arrived yesterday, the pickups.

EMG Boxes

The pickups I went with are the custom metal shop EMG H4 and H4A passive humbuckers with black chrome finish.  These pickups also came with a solderless wiring kit, pots, and cable jack... these will be a breeze to install.

These pickups are a passive equivalent of the active 81/60 combo that artists like Metallica and Slayer used.

Why EMG?  Because they are the backbone of the metal genre.

Here's a review of EMGs from a legend.
