Installation notes:

All EMG-HZ Pickups are compatible with each other. The connector system is an easy method of installation, avoiding the need to solder.
Older HZ Pickup Systems may need to be soldered, while the newer systems can be easily connected and modified. If you have an older
EMG-HZ Pickup you can install it with the new system. Refer to the B157 Buss data sheet to solder pickups without connectors.
EMG Accessory Circuits like the VLPF, EXG, SPC or RPC 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 Pickup Buss is included with the EMG-HZ Pickups. 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 .

1 ea 5-Pin cable pre-wired in Humbucking Series format
2 ea 500K Pots with quick-connect solderless connectors
1 ea B157 Buss Board
1 ea #11 1/4 inch Phone Jack
2 ea Adjustment screws and springs
All EMG-HZ Pickups are direct replacement for Humbucking size Pickups.

single/dual-coil combinations can be used.
