I recently had and EMG 81 & 85 set put in my EX-351.
The battery just sits in the back!

I loved the sound so much that i have also just aquired a set for my ibanez!

Dude listen to 12voltking, he knows what he is talking about, its obviuos from what he has already said...

I worked for about 7 years on guitars and I hated EMG's, mostly due to the problems with installing them correctly...

Make sure you know how you want them to switch, ie, do you want neck, neck-bridge, bridge or just neck, bridge. Do they coil split, via a virtual single coil circuit or actual coil split. Trust me, not something to dive into wihtout doing you home work first, other wise you'll have no guitar to play and a very big headache.

I'm a bit of a Dimarzio fan and find that they are really easy to install and come with good diagrams with every wiring option you could want. Maybe check out the EMG site and see if they have what you need...

Ummm, pretty sure he said they are a little tricky?? Nothing about it being impossible....
Either way I have brought them and im going to have a crack at it myself. Wiring diagrams are on EMG website and if that fails I have people who can help me.

Wasn't saying it was impossible, just a word of advice to make sure you have it all figured out before you cut up your pride and joy. I've been there, not fun, especially first time around...

Cheers & Good Luck!
Hope it works out nice for you :thumbsup:
