Title: Finalising my Emerald
Post by: django5 on January 04, 2006, 05:51:47 PM

Well I've decided that I'm going to get an Emerald for my HSS RGX.
I just need to know what the online order form is asking of me.
I need 4 conducter for me to be able to coil tap it.
What's the spacing? The space between the top bit of the route hole and the bottom bit?
To get the gold bit nearest the bridge I need to get the zebra version right?
Thanks.

If you have a tremolo of any kind and the pickup is for the bridge, choose 52mm, if you have tune-o-matic and/or the pup is for the neck, choose 50mm

For a coil tap, yes you need 4 conductor wiring.

For spacing, measure from the top to bottom strings over the screw (rear) coil of the bridge pickup.

Zebra's are where the coils are open, and the plastic bits are different colours (black & cream/white usually). If you're getting covered pickups, it doesn't matter what colour the coils are.

If you have a trem, 52 if it is fixed 50mm. For colours check out the colour options on the store and in the gallery.

I want the gold bit at the trem side. That's normal zebra right?

HOORAY!! I'll order one as soon as my parents get back. If I've somehow managed to screw it up, I can send it back right?
I'll probably need some help wiring it up. Are there any good sites for this?
