Prepare the Saddle Slot A large percentage of string balance problems with undersaddle pickups can be traced to an unevenly cut or warped saddle slot. Irregularities on the bottom or sides of the slot can often prevent the saddle from uniformly pressurizing the pickup. Prepare the Endpin Jack Hole There are two ways to widen the endpin hole to accept the PowerjackTM. Slow and Safe If you have the time, this is the preferred method. Remove the endpin and widen the hole to size with a 15/32" (11. 9 mm) reamer (available in the US & Canada through Stewart MacDonald, 800-848-2273 part #4323). OR Quick & Clean The objective here is to quickly drill out the endpin jack hole, with the endpin or other suitable plug in place. You may remove a loose endpin and refasten it in the endblock with cyanoacrylate glue before starting the procedure.

Rout a . 125" (3. 17 mm) wide saddle slot for the AG-125 pickup. OR Rout a . 094" (2. 38 mm) wide slot for the AG-094 pickup. Be certain that the bottom of the slot is flat. Deepen an existing slot only enough to obtain a clean, flat surface. Note: We do not recommend this method for instruments with brittle ornamental veneers (ex: abalone) around the endblock 1. Apply masking tape around the endblock area to protect the instrument. Locate an X-Acto® saw blade 1/16" (1. 6mm) away from the body and saw off the endpin. Centerpunch a guide hole in the center of the trimmed endpin. Drill a 1/8" (3. 2mm) pilot hole through the endblock.
