If the instrument has a Battery Holder:
If your instrument has a 9 or 18-Volt battery holder you can still
use the EMG Connectors to supply power to the pickups.
Simply cut and strip the wires from the battery clip provided.
Twist the wires together (Red to Red and Black to Black) and
use the shrink tubing included to cover the connections.
Soldering the wires is recommended.
Cover these connections with the
