GregP Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 EMG's wiring diagrams should work out for ya. Question: where does one find EMG copies? I'm thinking of replacing some single-coils in a pair of guitars, and I'm loathe to pay EMG prices on my beaters. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregP Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Cool beans, aaron. Did they arrive yet? Anybody else have confidence-inspiring information about this vendor? I don't buy from unknowns for the most part, but I'm rather intrigued. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronbaker33 Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 heres an update. got my pickups in.....sound just like and emg-85....i was hoping for 81's but i cant complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Cool. I don't have much experience with either, but I'm always more compelled by the description of the 85 than the 81. If they really do sound more 85-ish, not sure why they don't just market them that way. Plenty of people like 85's, too. Then they can work on making the 81-alike. No noise issues?
