Installation notes:
As you can see from the diagrams above, the J-HZ GB Set consists of a P Style Pickup and the longer Bridge Pickup (LJ) from a J Set.
Its common to use the longer bridge pickup when mixing with a P Style Pickup because the pole pieces of the bridge pickup are spaced further apart.
All EMG-HZ Pickups are compatible with each other. The connector system is an easy method of installation, avoiding the need to solder.
EMG Accessory Circuits like the VLPF, EXB, BTC or BQC Controls can be added to any EMG Pickup System, all have buffered inputs and can
be used on either passive or active pickups.
It is common to ground (earth) the strings of an instrument that uses passive pickups. This means there will be a wire
coming from the bridge into the control cavity that will be hooked to one of the pots. Included with the system is a single black wire
with a connector on it and an IDC connector that will attach to the existing ground wire and will provide the ground (earth) connection.
Warranty
All EMG Pickups and accessories are warranted for a period of two years. This warranty does not cover failure due to improper installation, abuse or damage. If
upon examination the pickup is determined to be defective, a replacement will be made. Warranty replacement products are covered by this same warranty. This
warranty covers only those pickups and accessories sold by authorized EMG Dealers. This warranty is not transferable.

2) Instruments with two pickups may need soldering to the selection
switch in some installations.
Installation
1) Diagrams#1 and #1a show how to install the pickup cable onto the back of the pickup.
Its a good idea to keep an extra length of cable in the pickup cavity if possible.
Route the cables to the control cavity.
Diagram #2 shows the color code of the cable, be sure to pay attention to the
colors when you are installing the pickup and interconnect cables.
