The EMG Kirk Hammett Bone Breaker set is the result of taking the success of Metallica tone and adding some new elements without sacrificing gain for clean or vice-versa. By making slight pre-amp adjustments and combining Alnico 5 and Ceramic magnets the perfect tone beast was created. The Bone Breaker Limited set consist of the BB-B Ceramic bridge and the BB-N Alnico 5 neck pickups both in Brushed Black Chrome caps with Kirks initials laser etched on the caps.

Kirk Hammett has been ripping up solos for Metallica for over 30 years. Riffs on Ride the Lighting, Master of Puppets and the Black Album are a must learn for all rock guitarists. For Hammett, his tone starts with EMG pickups.

"Metallica’s crunch sound is often cleaner than people expect," says Hammett. "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."

No matter if you are looking for rhythm or lead tone, this EMG Kirk Hammett Bone Breaker set offers crisp crushing leads or smooth rounded rhythm tone at the flip of the selector switch.
