Yamaha G1D Owner's Manual - Page 9

Installing the Pickup Once you've installed the controller, the pickup can be installed using either double-sided tape or screws. Although the tape is convenient, screwinstallation is recommended because it provides greater security and allows pickup height adjustment for optimum performance. s Hardware The following parts, supplied with the G1D, are required or optional for installation of the pickup. Please make sure you have all the parts. • Self-tapping round-head screws (3x25mm) ...... 2 • Springs 2 s Installation Procedure - Tape 1. Mark the optimum position for installation. The pickup should be located between the bridge pickup and bridge, ideally 20-mm from the bridge. If the ideal 20-mm placement is not possible, the pickup should be located as far as possible, but no more than 20 millimeters away from the bridge. The cable end of the pickup should be oriented toward the sixth string (low E). One pair of the pickup's magnetic yokes should be under each string. String spacing varies somewhat on different guitars, and the pickup will function properly as long as each string passes over part of the corresponding yokes (not necessarily the exact center). Check that the strings pass over the yokes, even when bending the strings.

(See above illustration.) Once the pickup has been positioned correctly, carefully mark the position on the guitar body. Small pieces of marking tape can be used if you don't want to mark directly on the guitar body.
