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. ## Frequently Bought Together - EMG ZW Zakk Wylde Signature Humbucker Guitar Pickup Set, Black - EMG Solderless Toggle Switch with Cables 3 Position Lever Black Knob B289 - EMG Solderless Wiring Kit for 1-2 Active Pickups - Short Shaft (Strat) 10mm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/83295514-emg-zw-set-ls-emg-zakk-wylde-81-85-humbucker](https://www.desertcart.us/products/83295514-emg-zw-set-ls-emg-zakk-wylde-81-85-humbucker) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
