I ordered the EMG 'T' set for one of my Teles after hearing some in a used Tele I played at a music store a few weeks ago. This question would be for anyone who has installed these recently which probably isn't a ton of people.
These are the solderless set, and as far as the pickups themselves go it was a snap because the pins on the switch are clearly marked for each pickup's lead. However the diagram contained in the package (and the only diagrams I've found at EMG's website and anywhere else in a Google search) show this set as having a plastic piece that connects the volume and tone pots together. The diagrams on the directions show how to wire that up, more or less.
The problem: My set includes these two pots unconnected by anything.
The volume pot has six pins, the tone pot has four pins, and none of them are particularly well labeled to tell me where the two jumpers connect. (Each jumper uses up two pins). There are four pins left over on the switch, and it's pretty clear which two are for the jumper that goes from the switch, but then to which two on the volume pot?
Then, from which two on the volume pot to the tone pot? (The tone pot's two remaining pins are for the lead from the output jack.
I of course emailed EMG about this as well and they haven't responded yet, but it was just earlier today that I emailed. I was just hoping to finish wiring this Tele up tomorrow if possible. As it is now I just guessed at it and I have working pickups and working pots, but the sound is highly overdriven, as if my wiring error has made it an active volume pot acting like a mid-boost circuit. Not what I want here.
Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance if so!
