Attaching the GK-3 to the Guitar

4)

After removing the pickup, carefully
remove the double–sided tape from
the bottom of the pickup.

5)

Adjust the height of the Pickup.
If you wish to add a spacer, first
completely remove the used double–
sided tape from the top surface of
the existing spacers, then add the
new spacer. If you need to remove
any spacers, remove the necessary
number of spacers and completely
remove the remaining double–sided
tape from the top surface.

6)

Attach two pieces of the new
double–sided tape B to the bottom of
the pickup.

If when mounting the divided
pickup you find that double-sided
tape B lacks sufficient adhesion, use
double-sided tape C.

*

Using double-sided tape C strongly and securely
attaches the pickup. Note, however, that once the
pickup is attached with this tape, removal from the
guitar becomes difficult and may result in damage to
the guitar’s finish.

7)

Attach the pickup to the top of the
spacer that is applied to the guitar side.

8)

Restring and tune the guitar, then
check the height of the Divided
Pickup again.

*

Afterwards, you will need to adjust the pickup
sensitivity when connecting to GK-compatible
devices. However, you may find that the sensitivity
level on the GK-compatible device is too high. In such
instances, you may be able to correct the problem by
widening the clearance between the strings and the
pickup. Carry out Steps 1 through 8 again to lower
the Pickup height slightly.

How to Use the Clearance Gauge

The divided pickup height must be adjusted so that the clearance between each string and
the divided pickup is 1.0 mm (0.04”) when the highest fret is fingered.
The clearance gauge supplied with the GK-3 is 1.0 mm thick; place the gauge between the
strings and the divided pickup as shown in the figure below, then check and adjust the height.
