Most of the time if it was built with actives they have a battery cavity on the back of the guitar, if not and someone installed them most typical place it is put is in the same area as the volume/tune knobs would be. I've never actually seen them installed under a pickups I actually don't think that there is enough space under a pickup to install them. It rare to see actives in that style of a pickup also. I'm sure they are made but I only know of blackouts and livewire sets by seymour duncan which both look similar to EMGs But you've checked so are you positive they are actives? What model is it, I believe by the picture its an MH but not sure the model number. -------------------- Guitars:

If it only has 2 then its not active. If it has the 3rd that goes to the battery and would be active. -------------------- Guitars:
