Installation Instructions:
EMG Models: JX, JAX, J-CS-X SYSTEM (4 /5-STRING)
General Notes:
Every attempt has been made to make this a solderless installation.
There are some instances where this is not possible;
1) If your instrument uses the long panel output jack and you had passive pickups
you will need a new stereo output jack, the Switchcraft 152B is recommended.
Soldering to the new jack will be required, see Diagram #7 on page 4.
2) Make sure the battery fits into the instrument control compartment before you
proceed with the installation. It may be necessary to enlarge the control compartment
in both width and depth to fit the battery and controls. A separate battery compartment
on the back of the instrument is always recommended.
Installation Instructions:
1) Remove the strings from the instrument. Remove the existing controls and
switch from the control plate by cutting the pickup wires at the switch. Also
cut the wires to the output jack and remove it. Cut the ground wire coming
from the bridge, it will not be reconnected. Unscrew and remove the pickguard.
Mounting the Pickups:
Refer to Diagrams #1 and #2
1) First, make sure the Short J (SJ) pickup fits in the cutout of the pickguard. It may
neccesary to enlarge the pickup cutout.
2) Attach the pickup cables as shown in Diagram #1 then mount both pickups as
shown in diagram #2 using some of the foam from the packaging for supporting
the pickups. Route the pickup cable through the hole first followed by the red wire.
Don't worry about the pickup height adjustment at this time, it will be adjusted later.
