s 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. 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. 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 extending below the pickup. Screw the screws in the corresponding holes in the guitar top. s CAUTION! • Be careful not to damage the pickup cable when installing the pickup. Installation 1 1
