I had this old thing lying around and wanted to fix it up. I think its a model 2 due to the single EMG pickup, but the electronics dont work. It has a single nob and a switch. The switch dont work and cant figure out what it used to do. I think I need a new wiring harness, but cant find this set up anywhere. Any help needed. I got a pic but not sure how to paste it.

The Model 2 came with a single passive Jackson covered pickup, one volume knob and no switch. They are relatively easy to rewire if you have some soldering skills. Pics would help. Create a free photobucket account to post photos. www.photobucket.comScott

It looks like a Model 1 neck on either a modded Charvel body or a non J/C body.Scott

It was carved out on the lower side to reach those higher notes. So I was told.Comment

Check the battery for the EMG. When is the last time you changed it?
Do you want to stick with the EMG or switch over to a passive pickup? Can you do decent soldering? If not, just take it to a tech to get it checked out.Scott

The switch is not stock, maybe there was a passive pickup in there previously that had a coil tap, thus the switch.Guitars:

Or, possibly, they didnt use a stereo jack for the emg and the switch is a kill switch?Originally posted by jrnic View PostComment

IF the EMG was an 89, I'd say maybe thee switch was to split the pickup. But it doesn't look like one to me.
Take a picture or two of the control cavity to see what is in there.
What color is the EMG logo? It looks gold.
Red/Copper = 89
Gold = 85
Silver = 81Comment
