Thank you for your manual and info. According to your video I installed EMG s/s/h and 3 tone knobs for each pickup and a volume control - now i am able to mix 5 positions with adjusted tone of the every pickup.
Very useful! Thankfully there are people like you who make this kind of videos, for those who do not know, to be able to learn! Thanks to this video, I will be able to connect 3 EMG pickups on my Ibanez RG1570Z, 81, SA, 85 with a master volume and a master tone. Just wonder if it is possible to connect a barrel output jack, on the active circuit instead of the conventional output jack ...?
Cool video, thanks! Since you seem to be quite experienced with different setups, can you tell me how to set up two SA-X pus with an 89 using the EMG switch? I learned that the SA-X need the active tone control (which comes with it), but that has five pins instead of the 4-pin on the passive one. How do I connect that? Thanks a ton!
I bought an HSH kit for a project ibanez PGM body and custom neck and while I got them all wired up, unfortunately the solderless switch doesn't fit in the PGM body rout. The wires poke off to the side where you attach them from the pickups and the rout is too narrow. So I'm trying to figure out an alternative solution right now...if only I knew how to hardwire the pickups to a normal 5 way switch, I could just run the pickups through a bus and then hardwire them to a narrow switch but I don't know how. Really wish my solderless switch would fit...sadly it just will not come close. It was an easy wiring too, as the body is only routed for 1 volume pot and I don't usually need tone anyway so it isn't missed. Maybe once guitar center opens back up I can take it in and pay them to hardwire the set to my regular 5 way switch :(
For all you people out there that owns an LTD mirage or a Kirk Hammett model guitar that looks like a strat, this is the kit you use!!! Thank you so much for posting this video!!! the instructions that comes with the switch is NOT helpful!!! LOL!!!
Have a weird charvel (Schaller Floyd rose trem) with five way selector switch, humbucker and single coil with only one volume knob, having trouble finding wiring instructions for doing this set up, can you point me in right direction please
Hey bud thanks for posting this video I have had this question for a few weeks but I was wondering if the strat toggle would fit into a sterling valentine im trying to put the toggle master vol and master tone with three pos for my pickups thanks for any help
Hey dude, could you, or someone who knows help me with this... Is it possible to wire a HH guitar 89/89 but with a 5 way switch 1 volume 1 tone WITH NO f%#@ing PUSH PULL POTS!? lol... I really don't want that. Can't you just wire the 2 89s to a EMG (or regular) 5 way?!? There's NO diagrams that show that anywhere. I honestly don't know too much about EMGs, and was planning on doing this to an Ibanez RG 421. Like I said, I really don't want to have push pull knobs.

Bob. THANK YOU. I spent some time looking for a help vid. You have my exact set up and now I can rock. Thank you. Alex,c

This helped a ton
Very helpful video. Do they make an adapter for an old soldered EMG 85 without the pins
to wire into a solderless?
2008, the quick connects pickup came out before then, the solderless kits came out in 2008.
Bob how would you do a three humbucker custom paul with a solderless kit?......thanks
If I wanted to put a tone on each pickup could I get a 3 tone pot and wire and put one on all 3 pickups and just drill me a new hole in my solid body.
Fantastic! So helpful. Wiring an HSH Ibanez. Would one 9v battery be enough for the 2 humbuckers and one single?

Hi i have got a Kh-202 ..emg (S3) B165 (rC) 3pos selector switch/ i need 2 vol. 1 tone?? How do i start?? 🤘
Can you make a video installing a single coil with 2 EMG set? I mean a HSH with 2 EMG and a normal single coil please ?
thats what im looking too, humbucker passive set and want to add one single coil in the middle.....
The process is the same as an SSS or HSS
Does anyone know if the early EMG T tele kit was soldered or solderless? I have a set that's soldered.
can you do this with hsh emg
What if you wanted to add a passive regular pickup? That's not soderless
That's what I'm trying to figure out
haii i want to know, how to wiring 3 humbucker 2volume and 1tone pushpull?
Will HH WORK?
Can this be used to wire only a 2 pickup guitar?
+Zackery Basinski EMG sells wiring kits for any configuration SSH,SSS, HSH ,HH.
My squier pickguard has to small holes for the pickguard😂

If you found a solution I'd like to hear about it.
@@immanuelkuhrt8508 as far as I've found out, no. You can't have a 5 way switch with those types of active pickups. :(
