Pickup question....

[kp69]

is there any practical way to install EMG's on guitars that already have the pickups mounted to the body of the guitar(Like a lot of RG's do).

Thanks!

You could always add pickup mounting rings. Can't EMG's be direct-mounted as well though?

[Jammy]

yeah just like any pickups. Just wack the spring on the "other" side of the pickup's mouting lug and you have it set up for direct mount
-better shred than dead-ANDY

If your problem is that the old screws are too fat to fit through the brass rings fitted in the EMG, then you can put a screw into the EMG, then heat the screw with a soldering iron until the heat transfers to the bushing, and it will come out, leaving a larger hole. The ring can usually be put back the same way, but may require a little superglue.
