Anyone? I'm curious to know what the insides look like, and if the internal preamp can be removed and jacked into a Duncan or mounted to an on/off switch [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Anyone dissect an EMG?
Except for the 60. It's actually a mini-sized humbucker in there. Why they don't make a cover for it to fit into a Firebird, I don't know.please don't put it into words, 'cause I fear what you're thinkingComment

Re: Anyone dissect an EMG?

Re: Anyone dissect an EMG?
<font color="aqua">Hey Matt, I actually have one of the old EMG's with the brown back on it. The wires were cut pretty short so I was going to put it on the mill and take light cuts to see how deep the epoxy was. I spoke with Rick over at EMG about the thickness of the epoxy backing and he said it was only about a 1/16th deep.
I was just going to do a little area around the wires to try and get enough to solder a longer wire to, but I think I'll try to uncover the whole thing now since you're curious.
I've been very busy here but maybe I can check it out on saturday and try to get some pics for you.

I'm mostly interested in the internal preamp than the actual pickup coil/design. I'm wondering if the electronics could be mounted to a passive pickup (Duncan, DiMarzio, etc) or to a pot like the Jackson electronics.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

not really on-topic, but semi-related:

(some guy (I think maybe a forum member here actually) sanded down some EMGs to put some metal covers on them (scroll down a bit))Comment

Re: Anyone dissect an EMG?
Dave, anything you come up with would be much appreciated, since the quick connects snapped off an 81 I have, rendering it useless for the moment. I don't even use EMGs anymore, maybe I should try to sell it really cheap.Comment

Re: Anyone dissect an EMG?
I might be interested in that 81 as long as the actual connectors are reachable, even with minor surgery [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Re: Anyone dissect an EMG?
I'll try to get some pics of it to PM you, they've got about 1/8" sticking out of the pickup. They broke at the bend in the pins.Comment
