you do not specify what kind of sound you are searching for....if i remember well the emg h4 is supposed to be a simulation of the emg81 model.....why don't you try their active range instead of the hz series? Myself i like very much the emg85 pickup in the bridge of my strat.

I had an H4 in my strat for like a month and I hated it.

Re: EMG-H4 in a stratocaster

im searching for a very balsy hard rock sound,but good for blues too.
fat,but clear.loved the JB fot ten years,but frankly, just got sick of it.
i thought on the emg 85,but wanna retain passive single coils on the neck and middle,so that blows.
any suggestions to similar humbucker bridge pickups to the emg 85?

go 81 bro trust me
the H4 is good but if you heard it side by side with a 81 you would know what i am talking about and also the 85 does wonders in a strat :burnout:
