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.
