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.

Installation notes:
As you can see from the diagrams above, the J-HZ Set consists of a Short (SJ-HZ) Style Pickup and the longer Bridge Pickup (LJ-HZ).
The SJ-HZ pickup is for the Neck position while the LJ-HZ pickup is for the bridge position.
These J-HZ Models use a split-coil design with a coil for each pair EA/DG strings for noise reduction and are for 4 string instruments only.
Alnico 2 magnets have more iron in their makeup therefore yield a higher inductance and have slightly lower magnetism.
As you can see the cable capacitance has a heavy influence on the resonant frequency of both Alnico 2 and 5 versions.
Alnico 2 models can be described as “vintage” (pre-1960’s) while the Alnico 5 models reflect more current passive designs.
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.

Attaching the bridge ground wire
6) Refer to Diagram #5.
As mentioned on page 1, it is common to “ground” (earth)
the strings on guitars that have passive pickups.
Included with the system is a black wire with a single black
connector attached. Also included is an IDC connector for
connecting the two wires together. Insert the bridge ground wire,
and the connector wire into the IDC connector, crimp the connector
with a pair of pliers until it snaps and this will connect the two wires.
You don’t need to strip the insulation from the wires.
Push the black connector onto terminal 2 (GND) of the volume control
as shown in the diagram. This will ground the strings to the system.

Soldering to the 151 Panel Jack:
If your instrument has a long Panel Jack like the one below
you will have to solder the output cable as shown.

General Notes:
Every attempt has been made to make this a solderless installation.
There are some instances where this is not possible;
1) If your instrument uses the long panel output jack, soldering will be required
2) Instruments with two pickups may need soldering to the selection
switch in some installations.
Installation
1) Diagram#1 shows how to install the pickup cable onto the back of the pickup.
It’s 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.
2) The most common method of wiring J Bass Pickups is using the
Volume/Volume/Tone arrangement shown in Diagram #3.
If your guitar is wired in the same fashion, simply follow the diagram
and install the cables as shown.
3) If your instrument has a selection switch or the wiring is different,
vist our website; emgpickups.com for more diagrams and video installations.
