Hello All,
| am a newly registered member, I have been browsing these forums for sometime tho.
Today I fitted a set of white EMG 808x pickiups into my Iron label Ibanez. I used the existing wiring in the guitar and simply just unplugged the old 808's and plugged in the new 808x and everything seems to be working fine. I am wondering if there is any downside to not using the wiring/pots supplied with the 808x?
Also I thought I should mention that the 808x seem to be slightly wider than the 808's as the neck pick up did not fit at first. Instead of widening the cavity I simply took the neck off, installed the pickup and then bolted the neck back on. It is a very tight fit now but it is in there and working as it should![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I look forward to speaking with you all and have an awesome day![Headbang :hbang: :hbang:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hbang2.gif)
