Installation notes:

The JMASTER* Set is an active pickup option for Jazzmaster** style guitars. The contents of this set allow for a basic control scheme consisting
of master volume, master tone, and a three-position toggle switch (not included).
many Jazzmaster style guitars will NOT be compatible with the EMG JMASTER Pickups, and should be removed or disconnected when installing
the JMASTER Set.
If you'd like to add a robust active EQ section to your instrument, please consider the EMG JMASTER SYSTEM which is available
as a pre-loaded pickguard. The standalone JMASTER Set is intended for more basic setups and/or instruments which lack sufficient cavity space
for upper horn controls. Please verify that your instrument's pickguard can accommodate the JMASTER Pickups before installation.

1 VOLUME CONTROL (25K)
