Installation notes:
As you can see from the diagrams above, the J-HZ GZR Set consists of a P Style Pickup and the longer Bridge Pickup (LJ) from a J Set.
It’s 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. Adding Active circuitry will require a battery.
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.

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) Diagrams#1 and #1a show 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.

Attaching the bridge ground wire
6) Refer to Diagram #6.
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.
