Zone Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi everyone, Forgive me for asking as I'm sure you have heard it all before but I am new to Gibson. I'm ordering a set of EMG 81/85 for my Flying V - 67 reissue. As it is just mounting into the pickguard - will I just need the short shaft pots? I'm pretty certain if I buy the individual emg they come with short shaft, but the ZW set comes with long shaft pots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup you got it, you need the short shaft for your V, the ZW set are designed for going through an LP's carved top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Legend, I'll install them this weekend. While I'm at it I wouldn't mind installing some locking tuners. I have them on all my guitars purely out of ease of a quick string change at gigs etc.. Can you recommend any that will drop straight in without reaming etc? Its got the Gibson deluxe tuners at the moment with the hex nut at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
