Is it possible to transfer ACTIVE pickups from one guitar to another?
I have an ESP F-50 with an active EMG 81/85 set. However, I want to upgrade to a strat with a tremolo bar and a six in line headstock (possibly a jeff hanneman ltd). However, I dont want to spend extra money on an ax that already has EMG's. Is it possible to have a luthier tranfer them?
The expensive Hannenman LTD actually comes with 81/85s so yea, you can transfer the pickups over to the new guitar. There are wiring diagrams on Google Images, but I suggest you do take it to the luthier so he can make sure they sound right.. The 81/85s should pretty much fit most ESPs anyways. I don't know about other brands, but Zach Wylde, who plays a Les Paul, uses the same pickups (humbucker style though). You should be fine, either way.
