Attaching the GK-3 to the Guitar
The GK-3 can be attached to and used with conventional electric and acoustic guitars.
Please read the following precautions before installing the GK-3.
Precautions Before Installing
• If double-sided tape is used to attach the
divided pickup to your guitar for an
extended period of time, you may
experience one or more of the following
(or other) issues when the tape is
removed:
- Adhesive residue or other marks
remain on the guitar
- A portion of the guitar’s finish comes
off, or is discolored
Please be aware of these risks and
exercise due caution when using double-
sided tape.
• Do not use the GK-3 with 12-string
guitars or guitars with other unusual or
customized string setups, guitars strung
with non-metal core nylon strings. The
unit will not function properly with these
instruments.
• Make any adjustments to the guitar neck,
string height, and other such
modifications before installing the GK-3.
• Try placing the divided pickup and the
controller unit on the guitar before
actually attaching them to confirm that
there will be no problem with the
installation.
• When using the screw to attach the
controller, we recommend that you first
attach the GK-3 temporarily using the
holder, then after confirming that there
are no problems when actually
performing with the unit, secure it with
the screw.
• If only the double-sided tape is used to
attach the controller, shocks from rough
handling during performances and from
extended use will cause the tape to
deteriorate, with the controller shifting
out of position as a result. Also, if the
finish on your guitar is less than perfect,
you may discover that the finish is also
removed when you later remove the tape.
The supplied tape is intended to be used
only very temporarily, to help you
determine the optimum position for the
controller.
• With certain guitars, the space between
the pickup at the bridge position and the
bridge itself is too narrow to allow
installation of the divided pickup. In such
instances, it may be possible to attach the
pickup by modifying the guitar (for
example, by moving the bridge pickup
more towards the neck to make room for
the divided pickup); consult your guitar
dealer.
