...if you're scared of soldering irons...
rbbrnck 24.04.2021
a good quality switch, with a positive action feedback, and accurate audio control – with a perfectly polished tip that feels smooth to the touch.
to be fair – and EMG is – this is the piece of "Eastern" origin in EMG catalog, as there's a "North American" one (at twice the price): while its basic element switch is probably sold under a hundred different brands, this one here has a neatly installed (custom) PCB that makes it "solderless" within the EMG ecosystem.
i actually bought it just to "cannibalize" this PCB, in order to install it onto an all-black hardware guitar that shall, em, have an all-black pickup selection switch – which EMG doesn't have on offer.
but, because i took it apart in the very moment it arrived, i can witness it is made with all the right parts and utmost care, and testify that its smooth run is only a function of how carefully you align its contacts' layers and insulators towards the lever prong that engage the selection.
i am not scared of soldering irons – we've been best friends since my first burn in my earliest teens – but i have to concede EMG that their very own "solderless" concept makes for a most attractive (and tidy) wiring in any guitar's control cavity.
now, if only an all-black version existed, i would be reviewing that one instead of this that i just took apart – and if a gold-plated one was offered, too, then i wouldn't have to order the next one to install on anyone's gold-plated hardware guitar with the same purpose!
to anyone else who's unconcerned with "exotic" finishes and color-match issue, buy confidently and replace what you have on board with this one: the switch is perfectly good per se, its neat wiring the real icing on the cake, and the very purpose that makes all the difference.

Super Happy with it
Isaac Campos 05.03.2019
I bought this together with 2 EMG passive pickups (the couple H4 and H4A).
All the electronics are 100% solder-less with this switch.
100% clear and easy to follow diagrams.
Everything needed is included.
No issues installing. Zero.
Works beautifully and smoothly.
Aesthetically nice and well made.
100% satisfaction from my side.
I can't recommend this product enough, I'm very happy with both the switch and pickups.

A great addition to a pickup set.
McilPAIN 20.05.2024
If you are planning on going totally solder-less with an EMG artists pickup set or even a regular set, I would highly recommend picking up the toggle switch as well.

This switch is built like an absolute tank and gives you the tactile reassurance that you have hit the right switch at the right time, it's a high quality component and can take the abuse that a pickup switch should be able to.

Installation is really simple as well, it goes on the main bus component as well as the pickups and the battery and output jack, but it might require a little widening of the main pickup selector hole that is already drilled into your guitar dependant on the instrument.

I've written previous reviews on EMG components and installation, compatibility and quality are always my main points of praise, this is no different.
