Installation Instructions:
EMG Models: MARTY FRIEDMAN - MF SET
Installation (Two Pickup Guitars with Selection switch):
Guitars with two pickups and a selection switch will use the EMG B245 Pickup Buss.
The Pickup Buss is a convenient way to wire your guitar without soldering.
Since you are installing passive EMG-HZ Pickups the RED
Shroud of the B245 Pickups Buss will not be used. It is for battery power.
2 Pickups / Toggle Select Switch / Master Volume and Tone
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.
Refer to Diagram #6a
2) Mount the Volume and Tone controls into the body.
Plug both Pickup cables onto the Pickup Buss (BLACK Shroud) as shown,
Bridge Pickup to BR IN.
Neck Pickup to NK IN.
3) Plug a connect cable from the Pickup Buss (OUT) to the Master Volume
control as shown in Diagram #6b.
4) Plug a connect cable from the Master Volume to the Master Tone as shown.
5) If using the EMG solderless 3 way toggle refer to Diagram #7a. If using a
hardwired 3 way blade or lever switch see Diagram #7b.
6) Strip the insulation from the switch wires on your stock switch 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. As shown in Diagram #6b.
7) Plug the output cable onto the Master Tone control and connect the output
wires to the output jack by pushing the connectors on as shown.
WHITE wire onto the TIP (T) contact,
BLACK wire onto the SLEEVE (S) contact
