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 #5a.
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.
2 Pickups / Toggle Select Switch / Master Volume and B30/B64
1) Install the Pickups and route the Pickup cables to the control cavity.
If the cables are too long, wind up the excess and keep it under the pickup.
2) Mount the Volume and Tone controls into the body.
Plug both Pickup cables into the Pickup Buss (BLACK Shroud) as shown,
Refer to Diagram #5a
Bridge Pickup to Position 1
Neck Pickup to Position 2.
3) Plug a coax cable from the Pickup Buss (Position 3) to the Master Tone (Active)
as shown in Diagram #5b. Note the reversed connector on pins 1 and 2.
4) Plug a coax cable from the Master Tone (ACTIVE) to the Master Volume as shown.
5) Strip the insulation from the switch wires and Insert them into the GREEN
Terminal Block and tighten the screws with a small screwdriver.
The Bridge pickup goes to the BR Terminal
The Neck pickup goes to the NK Terminal
The Output of the switch goes to the O Terminal
If there is a ground wire coming from the switch, insert it into one of the black
terminals on the terminal block.
