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. Either can be used
for the E/A Strings or the D/G Strings. The only difference between them is the connector on the bottom of the pickup. The pickup that
features the EMG Logo is intended to be used under the D/G Stringsso that the connector cable is long enough to get to the control cavity.
The Pickup (SJ) is shorter than the Bridge Pickup (LJ).
All EMG-HZ Pickups are compatible with each other. The connector system is an easy method of installation, avoiding the need to solder.
EMG Accessory Circuits like the VLPF, EXB, BTC or BQC Controls can be added to any EMG Pickup System, all have buffered inputs and can
be used on either passive or active pickups. The B157 Buss included with the set will be used on instruments that use a selection switch.
If your installation is passive only and doesn't require a battery the RED V+ port of the Buss will not be used.
If you decide to add active circuitry the B157 can power as many as 5 accessories. There are many EMG
Accessories that can be added to your instrument easily. Go to http://www.emgpickups.com .
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.
Each Pickup Includes:
1 ea Pickup cable
2 ea 500K Pots with quick-connect solderless connectors
1 ea B157 Pickup Buss
1 ea Black wire with connector (ground)
1 ea IDC bridge ground connector
1 ea #11 1/4 inch Phone Jack
4 ea Adjustment screws

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.
