Install the cable holders:

Before installing the pickup it’s a good idea to install the adhesive

backed cable holders in the guitar. Refer to Diagram #6 below.

It’s easiest to slide the cable holders onto the cable, remove the 

adhesive backing and then place them as needed to prevent the cable(s)

from banging around inside the guitar.

Install the ACS Pickup cable onto the pickup with the Velcro side up 

as shown in Diagram #4.

Loosen the two mounting screws by using the 1/16” Hex wrench included.

It’s not necessary to remove the bracket. Place the pickup in the 

soundhole towards the neck with the bracket on the underside

of the soundboard and tighten the screws. See Diagram #5 below.

 

 

And finally:

Restring the guitar. Loosen the pickup mounting screws,

align the pickup’s pole pieces under the strings and tighten the screws.

Plug the guitar into an amplifier, turn the volume control up and

make sure the pickup is working. As mentioned before it will

probably be necessary to adjust the B and E Pole pieces to achieve

good string balance. When adjusting the poles, be sure to turn down

your amplifier. 

Be sure to unplug your guitar when you’re not using to conserve battery power.

That’s it, play on.
