Installation notes:

All EMG Pickups are compatible with each other. EMG accessories, the VLPF, EXG, SPC or RPC Controls can be added to any EMG Pickup System

without requiring an extra battery. DO NOT reconnect the bridge ground wire, EMG Pickups do not require string grounding. Use the 25K Ohm

controls that are included for best results. If your output jack is a long panel style you will need a stereo jack, use a SwitchCraft 152B , soldering

will be required (see the bottom of page 2). Adjust the pickup level to the strings, and at a distance that works for you, experiment. Alternate

wiring diagrams are available at; emgpickups.com.

Installation Instructions: 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 diagram #4 below.
PAGE 3
Installation Instructions: Two Pickup Guitars with Selection switch: Guitars with two pickups and a selection switch will use the EMG B245 Pickup Buss. The Pickup Buss is a convenient way to wire your guitar without soldering. There is a separate sheet attached to these instructions that describes the Pickup Buss in detail. In all installations it’s best to find a place to mount the Pickup Buss in the control cavity before starting. Then, after the cables are routed use the velcro to mount it securely.
