2. Set the pickup height.

First make sure the truss rod and string height

are adjusted properly, then tune the strings to their

normal pitch. Adjust the height of the pickup —

using the appropriate spacer or combination of

spacers (see "NOTES" below) — so that the

distance between the top of the pickup and the

bottom of each string is 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.

I NOTES

• Don't remove the backing from the pickup cushion

or spacers when initially setting up the pickup

height. Please note that the cushion/spacer backing

adds about 0.1 millimeter (0.004") to their thickness,

so take this added thickness into account when using

a number of spacers.

• To compensate for differences in height between the

first and sixth strings (e.g. if your guitar has an

arched top), use an appropriate number of one-

quarter or one-third width spacers under the lower

end of the pickup (the spacers can be cut easily with

a good pair of scissors).

3. Attach the pickup.

Remove the strings from the guitar. Apply the

double-sided tape to the bottom of the pickup and

remove the backing. Remove the backing from the

required pickup cushion/spacers and carefully

attach them to the bottom of the pickup. Finally,

carefully attach the pickup/spacer assembly to the

guitar at the marked position, then re-string and

tune the guitar.

• The re-usable double-sided adhesive pads (page 8)

can be used in place of the bottom layer of adhesive

tape (guitar side). Cut the pads to match the shape of

the pickup, as required.

4. Check the height.

Check the pickup height again, and play the

guitar in all ranges to ensure that the strings do not

come in contact with the pickup. If all is well, then

the installation is complete.
