EMG-X Series Pickups are compatible with all EMG Active Pickups. They use the connector system for easy installation, avoiding the need to solder.
Included with the TW-XSeries Pickups as the VLPF Active Tone Control. This means the Push/Pull Pot will not be used as a tone control.
When using a selection switch, refer to the included B245 Pickup Buss Instructions for a detailed explanation of the Buss.

Every attempt has been made to make this a solderless installation. 1
There are some instances where this is not possible; 2
1) If your instrument uses the long panel output jack and you had passive pickups WIRE ORDER:
3
you will need a new stereo output jack, the Switchcraft 152B is recommended. WHITE
Soldering to the new jack will be required, see diagram #5 below. GREEN
2) Some instruments may already have a battery holder installed and in that case BLUE
soldering may be required, see the diagram at the bottom of page 3. YELLOW
3) Instruments with two pickups may need soldering to the selection Diagram #1 ORANGE

Simply flip cable connectors 1 and 2 to change the wire order and this HUMBUCKING ON: UP POSITION
will choose between the two options.
Connector 3 remains the same for either choice.
Diagram #4 allows you to use the 25K Pot independently of the pickup output.
By taking the output of the pickup from position H5, the volume control is now
