Attaching the GK-3 to the Guitar
■
Attaching the Pickup with Double-Sided Tape
* 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.
1. Place the pickup between the guitar’s
body and strings, and determine the
position for attachment.
In principle, the pickup should be
centered with respect to the six strings, as
close to the bridge as possible.
fig.1030 (Position of Pickup Attachment)
* If your guitar has a tremolo unit (whammy bar),
then attaching the pickup at the bridge position may
bring the pickup into direct contact with the tremolo
unit. Position the pickup so that it will not interfere
with operation of the tremolo unit.
* Attach the pickup about 15 mm (9/16”) from the
bridge if your guitar is strung with copper, brass, or
bronze wound strings, such as with an acoustic guitar.
* Regardless of the guitar, do not position the divided
pickup more than 20 mm (13/16”) from the bridge.
fig.1040e (Position of Pickup Attachment (Side View))
* When viewed from the front, the strings do not
necessarily need to be aligned perfectly with the
center of the yokes. Each string need only pass over
some portion of its yoke.
fig.1050e (Yokes and Strings)
* Be sure the divided pickup is correctly oriented. The
cord from the pickup should emerge from under the
sixth string.
When you have determined the position
in which the pickup is to be attached,
mark the position with a pencil,
cellophane tape or other appropriate
marking.
2. Be sure the neck curvature and string
height are set properly, then tune each
string to its normal tuning.
* Changes in the string height following installation
of the GK-3 pickup may cause the clearance between
the strings and the pickup to change, which can
result in poorer sensitivity.
