INSTALLATION INFORMATION
EMG MODELS:
EMG-91
ABOUT THE EMG-91:
Their are several benefits to using an active pickup for an arch top. Firstly, the pickup can be designed for great tone because output level
is not an issue. In addition, the EMG design insures the pickup is virtually noiseless and doesn’t need string grounding. It is almost impossible
to ground the strings of an arch-top guitar, so the pickup needs to be noiseless in its design.
Mounting:
The EMG-91 is designed as a low-profile pickup for arch-top guitars. Because all arch-top guitars are different, mounting the pickup
is usually unique in most cases. The pickup can be mounted on its bottom surface to a pickguard, or can be mounted with the EMG-91 bracket kit.
It’s best to look over this sheet, as well as the EMG-91 Bracket kit instructions, consider the following options and then proceed.
Power:
The EMG-91 needs to be powered by a 9 Volt battery. This can be accomplished by putting a battery holder in the instrument, or using an inline
external battery box with a stereo cable from the instrument to the battery box and a patch cable from the battery box to the amp.
Volume and Tone Controls:
Some instruments have volume and tone controls mounted to the pickguard, some don’t. Some controls are low-profile, some are not.
Both the Volume and Tone Control for the EMG-91 are 25K Ohm (audio taper).
