Installation

■

 NOTES

• The pickup should be located as far as possible but

no more than 20 millimeters (3/4") from the bridge.

• Make sure the pickup does not interfere with the

operation of a tremolo arm or other guitar controls.

Once the pickup has been positioned correctly,

carefully mark the centers of the two screw holes
at either end of the pickup on the guitar body using
a fine pen or scribe.

2. Drill the screw holes.

Remove the strings from the guitar and very

carefully drill 2-millimeter (0.08", approx.) holes
at the marked locations. The holes may have to be
slightly larger in diameter if your guitar’s body is
made from a very hard wood such as maple,
cherry, or rosewood.

3. Attach the pickup.

Insert the two self-tapping round-head screws

(3x25mm) through the screw holes in the pickup,
and place the springs over the screw shafts extend-
ing below the pickup. Screw the screws in the
corresponding holes in the guitar top.

■

 CAUTION!

• Be careful not to damage the pickup cable when

installing the pickup.

4. Re-string and adjust the pickup

height.

Re-string and tune the guitar, then carefully

adjust the pickup height by loosening or tightening
the pickup screws. The distance between the top of
the pickup and the bottom of each string should be
about 1 millimeter (0.04") when each string is
fretted at the highest note on the neck. The pickup
height can be checked by using the supplied
clearance gauge.
