Installation notes:
As you can see from the diagram above, the P Set consists of two pickups. Both pickups are identical in size and shape. The pickup that
features the EMG Logo is intended to be used under the D/G Strings so that the connector cable is long enough to get to the control cavity.
All EMG-HZ Pickups are compatible with each other. The connector system is an easy method of installation, avoiding the need to solder.
EMG Active Accessory Circuits like the VLPF, EXB, BTC or BQC Controls can be added to any EMG Pickup System and can be used on either
passive or active pickups. Adding Active accessories will require a battery.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is common practice to ground (earth) the strings of an instrument that uses passive pickups to reduce noise. This means there will be a wire
coming from the bridge into the control cavity that will be hooked to one of the pots. Included with the EMG-HZ System is a single black wire
with a connector on it and an IDC connector that will attach to the existing ground wire and will provide the ground (earth) connection.
Included with each pickup:
1 VOLUME CONTROL (250K)
1 TONE CONTROL (250K)

Warranty
All EMG Pickups and accessories are warranted for a period of two years. This warranty does not cover failure due to improper installation, abuse or damage. If
upon examination the pickup is determined to be defective, a replacement will be made. Warranty replacement products are covered by this same warranty. This
warranty covers only those pickups and accessories sold by authorized EMG Dealers. This warranty is not transferable.
