Installation notes:
EMG-X Series Pickups are compatible with all EMG Active Pickups. The X-Series Active Tone Control (VLPF) is compatible with other EMG Pickups
and can be used in place of the passive tone control. Other EMG accessories like the EXG, SPC or RPC Controls can be added to any EMG System
without requiring an extra battery. EMG Pickups typically do not require string grounding, but you may connect your bridge ground wire to an
available "G" terminal on the B245 Pickup Buss. Use the included 25K Ohm controls for best results. If your output jack is a long panel style,
you will need a stereo version, such as the SwitchCraft 152B, and soldering will be required (see the bottom of page 2). Adjust the pickup height
to the strings, at a distance that works for you. Alternate wiring diagrams are available at emgpickups.com.
