S/S/89 COMBINATION SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS Page 2
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 4.
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. If a cable is too long, any extra cable length should be kept
under the pickup
