Ive installed EMG 81+85 Pickups into my JP6 BFR guitar, got everyting working but wondering if can i connect the pickups to the jp6 switch? Can anyone show me how this is done please?

Sure you can, itd be wired the same way as the original pickups. Email customer service, they should be able to hook you up with a wiring diagram.

EMG pickups only have 3 wires : [ S W R ] the original had 5 i Think. Hmm do i connect it to the switch marked S W R or?

The red wire is erroneous, thats just your battery. The white is your hot, and your ground would be ok to put on any ground position.

So with that, you would simply wire the white wire to where the "red" wire from the dimarzios would go. If they coil split on the switch, you would simply wire a jumper in between where the black and white wires were.

edit: Ok I see the switch, easy peasy! Wire the white into the spot that says "R", then solder the "B" and "W" together. easy as that.

Thanks. Im gonna try this now but do you mean solder B and W Togheter on the switch like this? And the bare shield to any ground?

Yes just like that, sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

Do yourself a favor though, use a jumper wire, and dont make a gloop of solder, too many problems can happen, and reversing that is a pretty big pain in the buttocks.
