Installation Instructions:
EMG-S/S/S Combination Systems
General Notes:
Every attempt has been made to make this a solderless installation.
There are some instances where this is not possible;
1) If your instrument uses the long panel output jack and you had passive pickups
you will need a new stereo output jack, the Switchcraft 152B is recommended.
Soldering to the new jack will be required, see the Power Tips Data sheet at
http://www.emgpickups.com.
2) Some instruments may already have a battery holder installed and in that case
soldering may be required, see page 3.
Installing EMG Combination Systems is very easy and is accomplished in a few steps.
The controls included have a 10 mm bushing height so they can be used either on a
pickguard, or body mount. The cable lengths are designed for a pickguard, so you
should make sure they are long enough if you are mounting the system into a body.
Longer cable lengths may be required.
Step One:
Mount the pickups onto the Pickguard, or in the guitar body.
Step Two:
Plug the pickup cables onto the pickups
and then onto the switch as shown.
