Q1: the sound? it depends. you never really know unless you try. an ibanez S320 is mahogany, perhaps it'll sound good since emg81 is trebly.

Q2: side effect? if properly done, then of course not. although you need to find a way to store the 9V battery.

its active pickup right?
i'll install it if i play metal n thrash ONLY..
if i own a s320, i'll consider dimarzio air norton or evo...

how much normally cost for above pikups?

however thanks for the fast tips

anyone have diff advice please share ya

Thanks

Actually, the EMG81 is more versatile then you might think. Blues and Jazz pieces in the Neck Position sounds nice and warm.

There shouldn't be any problems, but double check to see if there is room for the 9V battery.

What happen if no room for the battery?

do i need too dig a hole on my guitar

oh nooooooo

If no room, you'll have to go with a Passive pickup.

Hahahah ok2

thanks Dude


Anyone??

air norton on the bridge and evolution on neck if i own an s320..
both are passive..

evolution will cost u around rm350..
air norton im not so sure..

seymour duncan any1?

u refer to?

i doubt you'll have to dig a hole to fit the battery.. it should fit in your control cavity..

i think got space at the back of the guitar,

can see one plastic casing over there

Get a Dimarzio X2N if it doesn't fit.

cost bro? + installation

Installation of a pickup is around RM50 for a humbucker.

But do remember, if you're installing an active humbucker, all the rest of your pickups MUST BE actives.... It's a pot issue. You CAN install both actives/passives together, but requires quite abit of innovative wiring work to your switch.

IC, good info,

wahh need to lern more bout this stuff weiii

how bout seymour duncan invader?..it is a good pickup with high bottom end..good for playing metal..and it is a passive pickups

I checked out the SA guitars. I'm sure there's enough room near the tone pots for a battery.

i try before at my guitar active at bridge (emg81), passive at neck (dimarzio humbcker frm hell).. u need a separate vol.. 25k for emg(i think its already come with it).. 50k with the passive.. its sound great.. for me..

hey redkord,

where did you buy dimarzio humbucker from hell?i'm currently looking that pups too

You can get them in JS Music in Jalan Imbi.
Their address is in our Guitar Shop/Jamming studios sticky thread.

thanks mr moderator

an emg81 does fit the ibanez s320. Without drilling in your guitar. I did it myself.
The only thing I did to fit the battery was using the emg potentionmeters and add a extra spacer on the output of the guitar.

Thanks All for the great tips
