User manual FISHMAN AGP-2

[. . . ] NOTE: If you have purchased the AGP-2 Preamp Kit that includes the Fishman AG-125 Acoustic Guitar Transducer, be sure to see the enclosed separate instructions to guide you in proper installation of the transducer. The AGP-2 is designed specifically for acoustic string instruments including guitars, violins, violas, cellos and mandolins. The ABGP offers the same features as its general purpose counterpart, but has specially selected frequencies specifically chosen for the acoustic bass and the Fishman BP-100 Bass Transducer. INSTALLATION 1. LOCATION Determine the best location for the Preamp on your instrument. [. . . ] Thread the transducer wire through the rubber grommet where the wire harness enters the preamp. Strip and tin the signal and ground wires from the transducer and connect them to the terminal block as shown in Figure 2. Replace the cover and screws (SEE NEXT SECTION), being careful to engage the grommet in the appropriate slot. 6. MOUNTING THE BATTERY HOLDER The AGP-2 is supplied with a battery holder that can be attached to the preamp cover with the screws provided (see Figure 3), or be attached to the neck block (see Section 6a). Be sure to check and adjust the fit of the battery in the holder before installing the AGP-2 Preamp inside the instrument. 6a. OPTIONAL BATTERY HOLDER MOUNT Cut a block of 1/4" plywood approximately 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" (40mm x 65mm). Using two Number 4 pan-head sheet metal screws (1/4" length), attach the battery holder to the wooden block. The assembly can then be attached to the neck block with wood glue, double sided tape, or Velcro. 4 ONBOARD ACOUSTIC GUITAR PREAMP IMPORTANT Although the supplied battery holder should provide adequate capacity to grip the battery at all times, we strongly recommend removal of the battery when shipping or flying with your instrument. FAILURE TO REMOVE BATTERY COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR INSTRUMENT. Fishman will not be held responsible for any such damage as a result of shipping or handling. 7. MOUNT THE PREAMP Slip the wooden spacer block (prepared earlier) over the control bushings and mount the preamp. The outside hardware should include a smooth 3/8" dress washer and a 3/8" hex nut. PREPARE THE ENDBLOCK The objective of this method is to drill a hole for the jack into the endblock, with the endpin in place. You may remove a loose endpin and refasten it with cyanoacrylate glue before starting this procedure. Apply masking tape around the endblock area to protect the instrument. Cut the endpin with an X-Acto saw blade 1/16" away from the body. Centerpunch a guide hole in the center of the trimmed endpin. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole through the endblock. Line up the 15/32" Spade bit in the pilot hole and begin drilling. Maintain a perpendicular plunge in relation to the instrument. Use steady (but not heavy) pressure, especially as the drill exits inside the guitar. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the instrument, let the drill come to a complete stop before removing it from the hole. 5 AGP-2 / ABGP 9.
