i've got 2 jacksons with emg hz's and the afterburner. a dkmgt and a wrmg. i don't use the afterburner's much cuz i've already got plenty of gain through my amplification set ups. however, while the afterburners are off on both guitars, the dkmgt seems to have more natural gain than the wrmg. anyone know why this is?

Re: EMG HZ\'s
Maybe it's the pickup height? Or the HZ model?I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Re: EMG HZ\'s
I believe they are all HZ-3s, no matter which model.
But a DKMGT is not the same as a WRMG, and what comes out of the pickup is what the guitar puts in. (I hope I translated that correctly, it's what a local tech used to say.)
So maybe your DKGMT just has a fuller sound than the WRMG (might be due to the floyd or just the natural differences between the different pieces of wood), leading to the impression of more gain.
Just a guess...Comment

Re: EMG HZ\'s
They've got 4 different HZ models, with variants:
EMG-H1 B/N
The H1 Pickup identifies the birth of EMG-HZ Series Pickups. It features a very traditional internal design but utilizes over wound coils and a ceramic magnet. The H1 has the punch and attack of the newer passive designs along with added brilliance for a better-defined tone. Bright but not muddy in the rhythm position, yet still retaining that real crunch in the bridge
EMG-H1A B/N
The H1A Pickup features the same design as the H1, but incorporates Alnico magnets instead of ceramic. While the H1A pickup combines EMG's traditional internal design with adjustable pole pieces and overwound coils, the result is a much warmer sound with a pronounced mid-range and less top end
EMG-H2 B/N
The H2 Pickup is our "hot-rodded" humbucking pickup. It features vintage wound coils with a ceramic magnet. This pickup is a favorite because it has the power of ceramic in a vintage design.
EMG-H2A B/N
The H2A is our proto-typical humbucker. The Alnico V magnet adds plenty of fat low-end for a nice punchy tone, perfect for the bridge position for any rhythm and blues player.
EMG-H3
The EMG-H3 uses two stud piece loaded coils for better noise rejection with over-wound coils and a ceramic magnet. This pickup uses our traditional solid cover cap in a unique HZ design.
EMG-H3A
The H3A features the same design as the H3, but incorporates an Alnico 5 magnet for a warmer sound but with a full top end.
EMG-H4
The H4 is the equivalent of EMG's 81 Active Pickup without the "Active". It uses two bar-loaded coils for that "Balls to the Walls" tone. The EMG-H4 pickup has become the bridge pickup of choice for the ESP Guitar Company
EMG-H4A
The H4A uses an Alnico 5 magnet for a pronounced mid-range and fat top end. With plenty of punchy tone, it's perfect in the bridge position for the player who wants to rock. The H4A is the perfect pickup for blues or in combination with the H4 pickup, as is used on Epiphone's Zakk Wylde "Bullseye" Guitar.

Re: EMG HZ\'s
Yes, Newc, but do they use any HZ models apart from the HZ-3 on Jackson imports?
I always thought it was HZ-3 only, and wasn't there something about them being exclusive for Jacksons?
Of course I'm not totally sure about all that... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]Comment

Re: EMG HZ\'s
I love the HZ-4s in my Zakk Epi, very good tone...."When a naked man is chasing a woman through an ally with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross"............ Dirty HarryComment

Re: EMG HZ\'s
H3s, in both cases. At least in my 04 Warrior and in a friend's 04 DKMG they were H3s, and I don't think they changed them.. if in doubt, just pull them out, there's a sticker on the pups that says which model it is, the production date etc.Comment

Re: EMG HZ\'s
the dkmgt seems to have more natural gain than the wrmg. anyone know why this is?-The answer is obvious:You 'll never find 2 guitars sounding identically.That's the question of every constituent of the electric guitar,especially the type of wood(I don't mean appellations).
About hz.As far as I know all the hzs installed in the imported jacksons are h3 by nowComment
