great "how to swap electric guitar pickups" video tutorial (Gibson LP : P90 ? to EMG ZW) :

from the EMGTV Youtube channel :

(Gibson Les Paul : from stock P90 ? to EMG ZW (81/85) set)



EDIT : my bad about the P90 thing, could be something else actually

Uh, those aren't p90's, bro. If they were the standard EMG ZW set would not fit in the cavities. You'd have to buy the P81 and P85 models to fit in the P90 cavities.

But anyway EMGs are super super easy to install. They come with pictures and diagrams that cover every configuration. The only tools you really NEED are a screwdriver and pliers. And you don't necessarily have to solder off the old pickups as he's doing in that video. You can just snip the wires and pull everything out. No soldering will be required for the EMGs. Whole process can be done in minutes. You will need long shaft pots if they're going in a les paul. And most EMGs you buy come with short shaft pots.

You will need long shaft pots if they're going in a les paul. And most EMGs you buy come with short shaft pots.

Les Paul Historics (R4 to R9, for example), Pre '77s, Custom Lites and a few others actually utilize short shaft pots.
