I am wondering if these pickups require a battery. They are working fine but I do not want them to stop working. I pulled the panel off the back by the volume knobs and don't see anything that indicates that indicate a batter even exist. Any insight?

EMG-HZs are passive pickups, so no, they don't need a battery.I like maple fretboards. :P -
First time I've read someone put HZ's in a Soloist.Fuck ebay, fuck paypal

Thanks everyone. I bought the guitar used from a private seller. $200. Thought it was a good deal. Came with the pickups already in it.Comment

Between the HZs and the $200, you sure it's not a Dinky of some sort?Dreaded Silence - Boston Melancholic MetalComment

Can you post a picture of this $200 soloist?Originally posted by voxjackdotcom View Post

+1. If it's neck-thru, then it's a Soloist. If it's bolt-on, then it's a Dinky.Originally posted by DonP View PostI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

It is a bolt on. I guess it is a Dinky. My bad. Is that a DXMG? I am just getting back into playing. Always liked Jackson guitars.Comment

has the soloist head stock.Comment

FYI there is no 'soloist' headstock
there's the 6-in-line or 3+3 pointy HS, the fender HS, or the ballsack HS used on SL modelsLast edited by Nightbat; 04-17-2011, 05:52 PM."There's nothing taking away from the pure masculinity I possess"

It's quite easy.Originally posted by voxjackdotcom View Post
Soloist = Neck Thru
Dinky = bolt on with a smaller (hence dinky) body
Strat = regular strat sized body.
It would be a lot easier to name your guitar if we could see it, but about the only guitar that matches what you have is a DXMG "Dinky".
It should have:
Reversed headstock
Regular (not reveresed) sharkies (MOTO, imatation Mother or Pearl).
Rosewood fretboard with binding
2 humbuckers with a blade style 3 way switch
no active electronics (no battery needed).
Usually come in black or gunmetal grey.Comment
