General Notes:

Every attempt has been made to make this a solderless installation.

There are some instances where this is not possible;

1) If your instrument uses the long panel output jack and you had passive pickups

you will need a new stereo output jack, the Switchcraft 152B is recommended.

Soldering to the new jack will be required, see page 4.

2) Power Supply tips are on page 4. If your instrument has a battery holder,

you are installing this pickup with an older EMG, or you want to supply your

instrument with +18 Volts, see page 4 for tips to avoid soldering.

If you are installing only one pickup use the instructions on this page.

If you are installing two pickups go to page 3 and begin there.
