Installation

Be sure to unplug your guitar when not in use
to avoid current drain on the battery!
Installation Procedures for EMG Model DG-20
1) Remove the strings.
2) Unscrew the output jack plate and unsolder the wires from
the output jack.
3) Unscrew and remove the pickguard from the body with
the pickups, controls and selection switch entact.
4) Cut the bridge ground wire going to the vibrato cavity. It
will not be reconnected. See: IMPORTANT NOTES (note
4) on page 1.
5) Replace the existing jack with the EMG output jack.
With the jack mounted in the jackplate, test the fit of
the jackplate in the jack cavity with a plug inserted.
Make sure the plug slides in and out easily without
binding. If the fit isn’t good, rotate the jack on the jack
plate so the plug will go in and out easily.
6) Route the Green and one of the Black wires from the
EMG quick connect and the black wire of the battery
clip from the control cavity into the jack cavity. Put,
(but do not fasten yet), the DG20 pickguard in place.
7) Solder the output wire (Green), Black from the connector
and the battery black wire to the output jack as shown on
diagram 2.
8) Connect a battery to the battery clip. Wrap the battery in some
foam or tape. Place it beneach the volume control, next to the
5-way switch.
9) Before fastening the pickguard and jackplate to the body, use
a screwdriver and tap lightly on each pickup while plugged into
an amp. If everything is working correctly, screw down the
pickguard and jackplate and restring the guitar.
