The installation of active EMG pickups is generally a solderless, plug-and-play procedure that utilizes the supplied cables, pots, and bus system. The essential steps involve replacing the current pots with 25k pots, linking the pickup cables to the bus/switch, installing a new stereo output jack, and connecting a 9V battery. It is crucial to note: Do not attach a string ground wire.
