Installation Instructions: 
EMG Model: BQC-HZ System

  

Soldered inputs:

On the back side of the ABC PC Board there are 4 pads to solder to.

Solder the signal wire (Hot) of the bridge pickup to the BRG Pad,

and solder the ground wire (shield) of that pickup to the  GND Pad.

Do the same for the Neck Pickup, Hot to the NEK Pad, and ground

to the GND Pad. 

  

     

     

If you already have EMG Passive Pickups in your instrument you can use 

the existing pickup cables.

Di

agram #1 illustrates how to connect the pickups to the ABC Control by using 

the EMG plug-in connectors.
