I picked up an EMG 81 from my local Guitar Center last night. My first guitar is getting a little old...about 4-5 years now, I want to keep it for sentimental reason but I think it needs a little TLC. Its an LTD by ESP dual humbuckers, floyd rose trem, 24 fret.

So I dug into it last night and found out that the space between the new EMG volume and tone knobs isn't long enough to reach the cutouts. They have a wire with some sort of fuse that is connecting each other via solder, there isn't enough slack to stretch the wire.

Any suggestions??



Thanks,
Brian K.WoW ! EMG81 pick up?

As long as you have some small amount of experience soldering, you'll be fine. Just take your time and do a neat job.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/installing-emg-81/#post-232534 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/installing-emg-81/#post-232466 Tue, 06 Mar 2007 22:40:21 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance briankennedy1986 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/installing-emg-81/#post-232466 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/installing-emg-81/#post-232461 Tue, 06 Mar 2007 22:31:53 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance art&lutherie https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/installing-emg-81/#post-232461 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/installing-emg-81/#post-24447 Tue, 06 Mar 2007 20:13:02 +0000
