I'm looking to route an old ESP M-II (strat style) out for one (9v only), and am having a hard time finding pics to use for ideas on the placement.

Go to Stewmac and search battery boxes.
I don't recall the exact model, but Gotoh makes a single and a double 9v box.
Same one Jackson uses.
Edit: It might be AllParts.
Been a while since I had to buy one.-RickComment

I've got one already, I was just trying to decide where on the back of the guitar to put it and how the orientation should be.Originally posted by rjohnstone View Post_________________________________________________

Rick that one looks like a winner. I just have to make sure it is far back enough that I don't run into the trem recess.Last edited by Axewielder; 06-09-2008, 04:42 PM._________________________________________________

If the control cavity is big enough to hold it, I wouldn't route for just one 9v.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Didn't I see someone selling a cover for the control cavity that had a pop out box for the battery?Comment

Ease of swapping batteries is why I did it.Originally posted by Newc View Post
I HATE taking the control covers off. I always seem to lose the damn screws.-RickComment

+1!! I think it's a nice mod which also avoids stripped screws (argh!) I found a pic of a KH-20, and am going to try to duplicate it, as my cavity cover arrangement is very similar.Originally posted by rjohnstone View Post

Thanks for the ideas all, the EMG conversion is complete. I've played EMG's before, but this is my first EMG-equipped axe (81/SA). So far I am really enjoying the guitar with these mods, it has a piercing lead sound but there is plenty of "beef down below" as well. The battery box part of the project came together great, too.

Very nice...
Looks like you went with the Gotoh battery box.-RickComment

Yeah, I ordered it through Stew Mac not knowing the make (they don't seem to advertise that fact). But, it is in fact a Gotoh.Originally posted by rjohnstone View Post_________________________________________________
