INstallation notes:
The T and TC Pickup Systems are designed to directly replace the pickups in a Telecaster* type guitar. There are two distinct pickups included
in the System. The FT (Front Tele) pickup is small and can mount in the body with wood screws (older guitars) or into the pickguard using screws
and springs (newer guitars). Hardware is included for either style of installation. The T System uses Alnico magnets for a fuller sound, while
the TC uses Ceramic magnets for a brighter sound. There are some Telecaster style guitars where the battery will not fit into the control cutout,
the newer instruments are computer routed and usually a battery will fit where shown in the diagrams. Before installing the EMG Pickups and
controls, it is recommended that you determine if the battery will fit or not and make a decision about either routing the control compartment
larger, or perhaps installing a battery holder in the rear of the instrument (recommended).
