Changing EMG batteries with a pickgaurd guitar...

[Chad]

Sounds like you guys need to get a battery compartment from warmoth or allparts and find someone with a router.

I would drop a battery box on the backside in a heartbeat instead of pull the pickguard and inevitably strip another screw hole every time I put it back on....

Just make sure it's a guitar of which you're not concerned about resell value. Regarding pickguard holes getting stripped......there are many work arounds......I've been known to dab a little wood glue in the hole with a toothpick, then let it dry. That's usually enough to bite into.

It's not that big of a deal, considering you don't have to change the battery for at least a year or more.

I had to change the battery in my charvel for the electronics about every 6 months.








That was until I stopped leaving it plugged in.
