Solderless wiring kit installation with Monique on EMGtv

Monique shows you how easy it is to install or upgrade your guitar's wiring with EMG's solderless wiring kits. We offer a number of kits for different pickup combinations in long, short, and split or solid shaft pots. Our kits include everything you'll need. No soldering iron required. Watch this step-by-step tutorial and check out all our solderless wiring kits here:

Finally, all guitars should be like this

I've already upgraded pickups and switches to EMG on 2 guitars and now working on the third, then a bass. EMG has always been the best, but this easy install makes it that much better. Aside from the video, the instructions it comes with are clear as day. Customer for life and I'll pass it on to my son, as well! Plz sponsor me lolol All jokes aside, the solderless system is awesome.

I've just upgraded my alnico humbuckers to emg zw set . Thanks for your best instructional video Monica, you're awesome ✨🤘

I put a ZW set in one of my LP guitars. I love it. The solder less system is great. My older guitars have EMG's I had to solder. I like the Solder less system better.

This is such a smart idea i just dont know why more companies do this

[evillotto]

It would also very help for guitars with HSH configurations and guitars with a singular volume/tone pots.

This lady has the perfect voiceover voice

Holy shit I need to take the back plate off my EC-407 and see if Monique snuck in and changed my pots lol

[brunogrill]

its scary how much it resembles building a pc

[troybclear]

Thanks!!! Your vid helped alot!!! Just put in a D.E. bass pick up set in my bass & it was a breeze!!!

[alanhollis]

Worked great in my Les Paul, but the kit needs a prewired selector switch

How would you install the ZW EMG 81/85s with only 1 volume and 1 tone while installing both the 81 and 85?

[davidriel]

Hey this looks like a great system. One question. Why does it need a 9 volt battery????

[JaapioNL]

Nice! I just ordered a set with 81 and 85!

[dansbikes]

Does anyone know if you are able to convert the two tones and two volumes into a master tone and master volume

[googuser]

Monique....  Why do I get an out of phase tone when I use both pickups on my Paul....   just installed an 81TWX and an 89XR all solderless w toggle. Used the standard LP control layout. and I used the provided vols and active tones.  Each pickup sounds normal in single coil mode and humbucker but when both pickups are selected in single or humbucker, I get a slight out of phase tone, especially when I use a boost pedal. THEY SOUND INSANE THO!!!! Well done.

They were smart to use an instrument with easy passages to snake the pickup connector cables through. Try sending the cable from a rear routed control cavity to a neck pickup on a solid body with no pickguard via the small bored hole designed for solderable pickup leads. Not gonna happen.

It is a ton of fun opening up that hole so the EMG connector will pass through. Sometimes you can't just drill it out bigger and have to attack it with hand tools. Then you run the risk of the floor of the pickup rout becoming ugly and unprofessional looking. After a certain point, it doesn't feel like a wiring upgrade. It feels like a chop job.

But once it's done, the components are good and it all works well. Soldering is more satisfying though.

What about wiring it to just one volume and one tone with a 3 way toggle? Thinking about buying the 81 85 combo but my guitar is only set up for that. Thanks~!🙂

2:26 It would be helpful if you showed close ups of the wiring after making a connection so that we can see which wires go where. Or tell us which color wires you are connecting to which terminal etc. I am over here frame stepping the video to try to get a glimpse as to how it's connected as I follow along. also the link with the tutorial int he description is broken!

Not harder than connecting PC front panel to the motherboard and plug some fans. My hobbies becoming far more similar than i thought
