Question:
Just bought a guitar off ebay with this set in it, I'm going to take 'em out and sell them to help pay for the guitar, replacing with passive pu's I have already. It should be here in a couple days and I'll have more complete info, I just thought I'd give a heads up to anyone interested. In the picture, they look to be in nice condition. I'm assuming since it is a working guitar that it will have whatever additional components are necessary like the battery clip, etc. which will of course be included with them. As far as the price, if anyone has any input, let me know - I don't know what used EMG's go for... I have found a couple vendors with the Zakk W. set priced at $198.00. My tentative asking price is $120.00 shipped to the lower 48. Paypal or MO.
PM me if you are interested.
Answer:
OK, its here and they look like brand new! Complete with the pots, caps, output jack, and battery clip - everything needed to wire a Les Paul /SG type guitar. They could, of course, be used in any other guitar with other wiring schemes, like for example a single volume/single tone/3 way switch. I will be putting them up on ebay in a few days if no one here wants 'em...
Answer:
can I get a picture of the harness and stuff. I want to see if it would fit my handbuilt guitar without too many modifications.
Answer:
Pics coming, got my hands full with a 3 year old right now... Meanwhile, here's a link to a PDF that shows how to wire them. EMG Wiring and specs . You wire them up like regular passive pickups, only thing different is that pickups have one extra conductor that goes to the + side of the battery, the - side of the battery goes to the output jack switch terminal (included) which disconnects the ground when the plug is removed.
