If you have EMG pickups on your guitar, do you always have to unplug it when youre done?

Question

I was told that if you have EMG pickups, if you leave your guitar plugged in the battery for the pickups will die. Does this mean plugged in at all, or just plugged in with the amp on?

Answer 1

plugged in at all. I have 'em too.

Answer 2

EMG pickups suck thy sound like c**p

Answer 3

Plugged in at all. It's the same with all active pickups (if they're wired correctly, that is). Plug a jack into the guitar, they turn on.
