Active pickups require a stereo jack to turn the battery off when the guitar is unplugged. A stereo jack has 3 solder lugs. Many of the Ibanez guitars come stock with a stereo long shafted jack. There is one lug not used with passive pickups and that is where you will connect the battery black wire. If your jack has only 2 solder lugs it is mono and you will need to replace it. We recommend a Switchcraft p\/n 152B. You should be able to find it at any decent electronics parts house. If not, you can order it from us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[36160,36161,36162],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33337],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the The jack I have in my guitar has a much longer shaft than the one supplied with the EMG pickup.
