Installation notes:
All EMG-HZ Pickups are compatible with each other. The connector system is an easy method of installation, avoiding the need to solder.
If you have an older EMG-HZ Pickup you can install it with the new system. Refer to the B245 Buss data sheet to solder pickups without connectors.
EMG Accessory Circuits like the VLPF, EXG, SPC or RPC Controls can be added to any EMG Pickup System, all have buffered inputs and can
be used on either passive or active pickups. SPECIAL NOTE: The Red Wire of the HZ Pickup is NOT for battery power, it is a coil wire.
