Where did you mounted the 85, from the looks of the pics seems it's on the bridge, if you have the ZW set it goes on the neck. It really doesn't matter but I was wondering?

The EMG's can be placed anywere since they are active and won't be out of phase.

thanks for noticing my straplock idea! im happy that you noticed them. They were actually very easy to do...i drilled the hole for the strap lock screw like normal...but i drilled it deeper than usual...then i took the strap lock itself to a measurer to see how big it is around...and find a drill bit which is one size smaller...then just drill it and it'll work great!

and its just the picture...i know the 81 goes in the bridge..and it did....and boy does it sound great!
