Ar-Pharazon Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 I have been loking all over the net for a logical wiring diagram for a S/S/81 (EMG) setup. EMG only seems to provide certain combinations in their pdfs and I was wondering if anyone can direct me to a suitable diagram. I known this may have been brought up before, and if so, please direct me to the post in question (i don't mean for someone to do all the work for me, I have been spending all day searching with no real fruit).

lovekraft Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Use this instruction sheet: http://216.26.190.134/downloads/wiringdiagrams/strat.pdf Use diagram 1 (on page 2) - simply replace the bridge pickup with the 81, wired exactly the same way.

Ar-Pharazon Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I now have a new problem. I have wired each pickup to be turned on with an individual switch (each pickup can be turned on or off individually). However, only the neck pickup seems to function without the battery connnected. With the battery connected, there is enhanced sound, but turning off the neck pickup only reverts it to its unpowered sound.

lovekraft Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Your wiring diagram looks good - check your switches and signal trace your wiring harness. Make sure you're switching the signal and not the power. The pickups should be powered whenever the guitar is plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
