Easiest 18v mod. No soldering and reversible!!!

From my buddies at the JCF:

take 3 battery connectors, solder each wire (or twist them together and shrink tube) to the opposite color wire between all three of them. ex: conn. 1 red to conn. 2 black, conn. 2 red to conn. 3 black, conn. 3 red to conn. 1 black.

then clip one of the connectors to the original connector in the guitar, and attach 2 batteries. done. and easily reversible.

Huh. Thats actually pretty ingenious.


Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high,
Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie,
Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally.
Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee
Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread
Its branches like a Temple overhead.

i actually learned that in conjunction with battery powered motors for small toys etc, i guess nobody ever mentions it in terms of guitars and emg's lol. only place ive seen it in that context was the one site someone on here posted about doing the 18v mod. I never even thought of it for guitars before seeing that, and ive used that trick tons of times for other stuff
good thinking man, thanks for posting that up here

good job mate!

...Each guitarist has an evil fat 40 year old blueswankler trying to get out, If you give in to temptation you'll be sitting next to a fender playing john lee hooker while trying to keep your combover in place.

I would try this if the battery cavity in the 607 was big enough to accommodate two 9v cells
