If the instrument has a Battery Holder:

If your instrument has a 9 or 18 Volt battery holder you can still 

use the EMG Connectors to supply power to the pickups.

Simply cut and strip the wires from the battery clip provided.

Twist the wires together and use the shrink tubing included

to cover the connections. Soldering the wires is the preferred.
