sjaguar13 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I got hosed on eBay. My EMG, aledgedly an 81 (how would I tell?), has almost no wire on it at all. The corner is chipped down to get to the little stubble, but it's not enough to actually solder on a bigger piece of wire. Is there a way to take apart the case and extend it, or is it basically junk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Was it the type that has the prongs for the quick-connect cable or the older type that just has wires comming out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 The wires come out of the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansil Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 email emg and tell them about it and usually they will replace it, with the newer one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted March 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Will they replace it for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansil Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 they did mine as there is no way to crack the case open without damaging the pickup.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted March 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Ansil, who did you contact about replacing the pickup? I emailed tech@emgpickups.com, but that guy just said that there was no way to open the case because of the epoxy used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YDoesGodMockMeSo Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I dunno about sending you a new one. I emailed for a various reasons, one being that the quick connect prongs on my 81 broke and they wouldn't replace it. some **** about "improper installation" or some buullllll. I also needed mounting screws, nothing. I needed new quickconnect cabling also, just sent me the link to guitarparts.com. Oh yeah. To see if your EMG is a real deal. 1) It'll say EMG on it 2) If its an 81, EMG will be silver. 3) It should say on the back also. 4) There is some magnetic tape thingy EMG sells (used to sell?) that would identify it via the magnetic fields.

skibum5545 Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I also needed mounting screws, nothing. Really? I emailed them for new screws, ad the guy there (I think it was Rick) asked for my address and they arrived within the week, along with a really cool EMG sticker!
