EMG JR Set White: Jim Root Signature Power for Modern Metal

The EMG JR Set White brings the punch and aggression of Jim Root’s Slipknot and Stone Sour tones directly to your guitar. This signature humbucker set harnesses EMG’s Retro Active circuitry with custom tuning, offering a wide, thick sound that cuts through dense mixes. Only a select number of these all-white sets were produced, making them a rare find for tone chasers. This model is ideal for players who demand surgical clarity and crushing saturation in both studio and stage settings.

Signature Features and Limited Edition Appeal

Both the neck and bridge pickups use stud poles—ceramic for the neck and black steel for the bridge—delivering a distinctive percussive attack and full-spectrum response. Exclusive Retro Active preamps, designed for Jim Root, enhance tonal flexibility and headroom, distinguishing it from standard EMG offerings. Collectors are drawn to the all-white finish, previously available only on Root’s Charvel signature guitars.

Performance Engineering for Demanding Players

Technical details matter for those pushing their sound. Active electronics inside the JR Set ensure high output without excessive noise. Ceramic magnets in the neck yield shimmering cleans and crisp leads, while the bridge’s black steel pole design draws inspiration from the EMG 81, resulting in saturated crunch and pronounced lows, suitable for drop-tuned riffs and detailed solos.

• Bridge Pickup Magnet: Ceramic with black steel poles — Designed to deliver aggressive attack and tight low end for clear rhythms.
• Neck Pickup Magnet: Ceramic studs — Produces clean, percussive highs and smooth sustain for both solos and cleans.
• Expanded dynamic range comes from the Retro Active custom preamp, granting versatility in challenging musical styles.

Installation and upgrades are straightforward with EMG’s Quick Connect system, eliminating the need for soldering.
