    I've already upgraded pickups and switches to EMG on 2 guitars and now working on the third, then a bass. EMG has always been the best, but this easy install makes it that much better. Aside from the video, the instructions it comes with are clear as day. Customer for life and I'll pass it on to my son, as well! Plz sponsor me lolol All jokes aside, the solderless system is awesome.

      Because they are active pickups. They have their own preamps, and they need a separate battery to run. If they were passive pickups they wouldn't need the battery. I totally agree though dude, EMG has made an awesome system here. Hope this information helps.

    Monique.... Why do I get an out of phase tone when I use both pickups on my Paul.... just installed an 81TWX and an 89XR all solderless w toggle. Used the standard LP control layout. and I used the provided vols and active tones. Each pickup sounds normal in single coil mode and humbucker but when both pickups are selected in single or humbucker, I get a slight out of phase tone, especially when I use a boost pedal. THEY SOUND INSANE THO!!!! Well done.

    Hi, since one of the volume potentiometer on my guitar ( equipped with a hardwired setup: Emg 81/Emg 60) produces scratchy noise and mutes the signal too, I'm planning to replace it with a fresh one.
    The only concern is that my guitar is a left handed one.
    At the moment with the stock hardwired connection potentiometers are correctly wired to operate for a left handed guitarist ( so not to use it in reverse).
    Is it possible to maintain the correct rotation of the pots with the new solderless system?
    To resume, is it possible to decide the turning direction of the pots ( as you could do with the hardwired connection), with the actual solderless system? Thanx in advance

    @williamyoung3070 5 лет назад +5

    They were smart to use an instrument with easy passages to snake the pickup connector cables through. Try sending the cable from a rear routed control cavity to a neck pickup on a solid body with no pickguard via the small bored hole designed for solderable pickup leads. Not gonna happen.
    It is a ton of fun opening up that hole so the EMG connector will pass through. Sometimes you can't just drill it out bigger and have to attack it with hand tools. Then you run the risk of the floor of the pickup rout becoming ugly and unprofessional looking. After a certain point, it doesn't feel like a wiring upgrade. It feels like a chop job.
    But once it's done, the components are good and it all works well. Soldering is more satisfying though.

Instead of the wiring being soldered (think of a glue thats made with metals), which can be pretty scary to try to do if it’s your first time. Making the wiring system solderless, all you’d have to do for future pick up changes (as long as they’re EMGs) is unplug the older pickups and plug in the new ones and you’re good to go.

    I put 81 85 on my dean razorback killswitch, but the cavity is so small i had to remove the killswitch and even then the holes to get to the pickups/selector are too small so i couldnt connect the toggle switch, even with a pickup switch that has thin wires

      Similar situation I had with my Carvin LB75 bass.
      I'm installing volume controls for each pickup, which is easy. The space to install the BTS active EQ is a bit of extra effort. I wired up the pots before I installed them. Not getting any sound though.

      You'll need to solder to the existing switch, or buy a new emg switch to plug it into. I'm currently in the same situation.

    You can also use a guitar pick or pencil to tap the pickups. I prefer using something that isn't also magnetic so as to not transfer magnetic particles to the pick up covers.
