you have to rewire and replace all existing electronics, as the stock pickups are passive while the emgs are active. you'll also have to route the pickup cavity.

you may have to route a battery cavity if you cant squeez it in

As the others have said, you'll need to route to fit the EMG's and fit 25k pots, but these come with the EMG's anyway. Maybe a swap to different passive pickups would be easier? Maybe a Seymore Duncan JB/Jazz set, Dimarzio's or as you're in the UK Bare Knuckle are well worth looking at.

Incidentally, where in the UK are you?
