## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the zw 81/85 set include the solderless installation kit? i see some buyers saying "yes" and others saying "no."**
A: yes. for me it did. It included everything that I needed to install the pickups. maybe others are saying "no" because they bought each pickup separately. I bought them together in one box. I bought them here on amazon. They arrived in one box with zakk wyldes picture on the box. I had to look at one or two videos that I found on youtube to help me with the installation, but it pretty much took me about an hour to install. just remember to measure EVERYTHING! from the height of the original pickups to the height of the volume and tone knobs.

**Q: Will this fit in a Jackson kelly js32t?**
A: I don't own a Kelley but fits perfect in my Jackson rhoads. So I would say it will fit. There's a diagram for 2 pot installation in the box. Make sure there's enough room for 9v battery in the pot cavity when you install.

**Q: Will these fit in a jackson js32 dinky?**
A: They fit into the cavity of my Jackson Soloist with no problem.

**Q: Does a rechargeable battery work as sufficiently as a standard 9v?**
A: Perfectly. Those pickups work from 7v (old worn battery) to 27v (three batteries in series). The more volts, bigger the headroom. One battery 9v is more than enough for a big sound, and it lasts thousands of hours. Just unplug the guitar cable to conserve the battery. But pay attention to your rechargeables: modern eneloop lithium batteries Keep good charge for years when left unused, while old ni-mh units decay within weeks, being used or not.
