Installation (Two Pickup Guitars with Selection switch):
Guitars with two pickups and a selection switch will use the EMG B245 Pickup Buss
shown at the right in Diagram #4a.
The Pickup Buss is a convenient way to wire your guitar without soldering.
There is a separate sheet attached to these instructions that describes the
Pickup Buss in detail.
In all installations it’s best to find a place to mount the Pickup Buss in the control
cavity before starting. Then, after the cables are routed use the velcro to mount it
securely.
