SOLD: EMG Super 77 Bridge and Neck set (F-spaced bridge)

Mattayus · November 2019

£100.

I have a couple of pots and wiring to go with it. Everything you should need for a basic install.

Bridge is F-spaced.

This is a bargain. They're in great condition and come boxed.

Very un-EMG-like, fat tone, reminiscent of a Super Distortion. Just not my cup of tea.

Bump.

Would part-ex for a neck humbucker.

Been reading up a bit and trying to make sure I understand right - these are active aren't they? And assuming yes, does the kit include all the bits of circuit and battery bus etc?

Basically everything needed (for a 1x vol / 1x tone) is included except the 3 way switch?

Affirmative.

This point could certainly do with some clarification.

The photograph certainly does not illustrate everything required for a complete installation. (This does not bother me because I have a stockpile of unused EMG, Seymour Duncan and Fishman parts.)

Most of the components in the photograph appear to adopt the EMG Solderless convention. The solitary pickup interconnect cable clearly has the strands of its +9v supply cable exposed and soldered over.

FWIIW, I have traded pickups and related accessories with Mattayus in the past. I have always received what I paid (or swapped) for. If I thought that I had something he wanted, I would gladly trade again.

You still have to solder the connections on the output jack, though, don't you?

On a Switchcraft TRS jack socket, EMG Solderless uses three spade connectors.

On edge-mounted barrel jacks, the spades need snipping off.

I have constructed wiring harnesses using a mixture of Solderless™, hard-wired and screwed into the Buss board connections.

Terribly sorry gents, been insanely busy with work and completely forgot about these!

Right, just to clarify, when I say it's "everything you need", I guess I meant there is everything you'd need to take your current pickups and pots out of your guitar and use these instead.

Not everything here is solderless, as Funkfingers pointed out. The leads from the pickup aren't the solderless type, but can still be used in conjunction with these solderless pots. EMG have accommodated for this eventuality by allowing you to solder wires directly to the PCB as well as use the prongs provided for solderless stuff.

However, the jack is either, depending on what you fancy. I do have the solderless lead for the jack (with the spades that clip directly onto the jack terminals)

So really, it's a hybrid... Some solderless, some not.

And no switch, sorry - This, I assumed, the buyer would just use from their current set up.

I hope this clears things up?

RevMatt · December 2019

I'm not too concerned about whether it's soldered or solderless connections just that it's complete.

Perhaps for avoidence of any doubt a photo showing all components might help as thee are bits I was expecting but can't see?

Mattayus · December 2019

Everything in the pic is all I have

- 1 vol
- 1 tone
- 2 pick up cables
- 1 switchcraft stereo jack

I can also throw in a 9v battery snap (and a battery!)

RevMatt · December 2019

Thanks for the clarification.

bump!

Q: In the photograph, the height adjustment screw holes seem over-sized. Have the baseplates been modified for direct body mounting?

Mattayus · December 2019

Just a trick of the light. They are unaltered, and have only been suspended on mounting rings with standard pickup screws.

Mattayus · December 2019

sold! (Finally!)

Howdy, Stranger!
