While i wait for my bucketcater body and neck i decided to pull out my old Performance corsair out and see what i need to do to finally get this beast playing right.
Paid a guy in early 90’s to put my pick up in and after speaking with emg and looking at wiring stuff available today i have come to the conclusion that the Guy at the music store Did not know what the hell he was doing or ???
It has a Single Emg 81 with Volume only pot the battery connector came apart many years ago but i want to get this beast up and playing questions would be
Back in the late 80’s-1992 i can’t remember exact year(before solder-less kit) but did the emg 81 pickup come with the wires already attached to pick up or did you actually have to plug wires onto the pickup as the newer pickups are today?
The guy who installed for me did not put in the 25k pot the bus for the battery and it looks ugly as hell on the solder job not to mention the output jack wasn’t put in either.
I do have all these parts on order but the sales guy at emg didn’t know for sure as it was before his time
Some picks i am thinking of replacing the neck as to adjust truss rod the neck has to be removed but electronics first
Any that can give some input i would appreciate it
