Attaching the Divided Pickup The Divided Pickup can be attached to your guitar using double­sided tape or screws. Attaching the Divided Pickup with screws requires a little more skill (and care), but it will allow you to easily adjust the height of the Divided Pickup later. s Attaching the Divided Pickup with double­sided tape 1. Place the Pickup as close to the bridge as possible, and center it with respect to the six strings. (One set of `yokes' (the actual sensors) should be directly under each string if possible. ) fig. 07 * When viewed from the front, the strings do not necessarily need to be aligned perfectly with the center of the yokes. It's all right as long as a string passes over some portion of its yoke. fig. 09 * if your guitar has a tremolo arm (whammy bar), be sure the Pickup does not interfere with its operation. * When using copper, brass or bronze wound strings, attach the Pickup about 15 mm (9/16") from the bridge. * Do not locate the Divided Pickup more than 20 mm (13/16") from the bridge. fig. 08 Front View Top View Carefully mark the position of the Pickup. (Depending on the finish of your guitar you may need to use felt-tipped pen or maybe even small pieces of masking tape, for example. ) * Be sure the Divided Pickup is correctly oriented: the cord from the Pickup should emerge from under the sixth string. If you need to remove a spacer, be sure to remove the spacers itself and the double­sided tape. (5) Attach the double­sided tape to the bottom of the Pickup. (6) Attach the Pickup to the upper side of the spacer that is applied to the guitar side. (7) Put the strings back on the guitar and tune them properly. Again check the height of the Divided Pickup. * Afterwards, you will need to adjust the Pickup sensitivity on the [GR]. If the signal level from the Divided Pickup is too high, lower the Pickup slightly. HOW TO USE THE CLEARANCE GAUGE The optimum distance between the Pickup and each string is about 1. 0 mm when the highest notes on the neck are fingered. The supplied clearance gauge is 1. 0 mm (0. 04") thick. As shown below, insert the clearance gauge between the Pickup and the strings. Adjust the Pickup height as necessary. fig. 13 16 INSTALLATION s Attaching the Divided Pickup with Screws You can also use screws to secure the Divided Pickup. Marking the position of the Pickup and checking the height is exactly the same as in "a.
