User Guide

The diagrams shown here all use the B162 (T3) switch that is
designed for Fender Telecaster*. When the switch is mounted to the
Tele control plate the Bridge and Neck Pickup input legend will be as it
says on the PC Board. If you use the B162 for another type of guitar,
you might have the PC Board facing the other direction. If this is so,
simply reverse the inputs. Use the BRG input for the Neck Pickup, and
use the NEK input for the Bridge Pickup.
Diagram #10
This diagram shows the wiring for the standard installation included
in these instructions.
Diagram #11
This diagram shows discrete controls with a volume control and
passive tone control. It is shown mounted to the Tele control plate,
but the wiring would be the same for any two pickup guitar using the
T3 switch. But as stated above, dpending on which direction you install
the selection switch the pickup inputs might need to be reversed.
Diagram #12
This diagram shows an active tone control added to the guitar. The
control could be any EMG Active control, like the SPC, RPC, EXG, VLPF
or a BT Control. This installation would be similar to an EMG-X
installation using the VLPF Active tone control.
* Tele and Telecaster are registered Trademarks of FMIC
