Questions upon EMG pickups?
Well today I ordered EMG 81/60 Active pickups. I have a ESP LTD EX50 guitar,with standard ESP passive pickups. The thing is, i have a 3-way toggle switch (to switch between pickups) a Volume knob, and a tone knob. The thing is, i know with Active pickups you need a battery compartment. Also do i need make room for another knob, because alot of guitars that i see with active pickups have 3 knobs when i only have 2.
So I need help with 2 things...
1) Can i manage to put the battery in the wire compartment? or do i need to put in a battery compartment.
2). Do i need to add a aditional knob hole, and what not. If so where would you suggest i get it put in.
Thanks a million
1) Yes, as long as the battery fits into the wire compartment you can put it in there, but you should wrap it in a non conductive material. Ive managed to do that on every conversion Ive done. However if you want to do an 18V mod, I doubt it will fit.
2) You don't need an additional knob hole for tone. Actually, you don't really need a volume or tone knob, you can get the guitar to work without it, but its always nice to have each of them! You will do fine with just 1 vol and 1 tone. I have converted plenty of RG's and they only have 1 vol and 1 tone.
-----------
You do know that you need a stereo output jack and 25k pots.
