The KH-602 has active pickups but the KH-202 has passive pickups.
It is possible to convert to active - either EMGs or Seymour Duncan but you would have to find somewhere to put the batteries.

The ESP ltd EC-1000T/C TM, ESP ltd EC-1000FR (Floyd Rose Tremolo), ESP ltd EC-1000QM (Quilt Maple), ESP ltd EC-1000 BLK (Black), ESP ltd EC-1000 VB (Vintage Black), ESP ltd EC-1000 SSB (Silver Sunburst), all have an active EMG 81 in the bridge position, and an active EMG 60 in the neck position.However, these following models of the ESP ltd EC-1000 line DO NOT have the same pickups as the previous.The ESP ltd EC-1000T and ESP ltd EC-1000 MGO (Metallic Gold) both have Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups, in both the bridge and neck positions.The ESP ltd EC-1000FM (Flame Maple) has a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge position, and a Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck position.As a side note, ALL of these pickups are humbucking, or dual coil.
I have an ec-1000 (w/o Floyd Rose) and it's an excellent guitar. Just keep in mind that it comes with active pickups, as some people prefer passive pickups. It's also important to consider whether you want the Floyd Rose bridge or not.
