NSTALLATION
1. Location
Determine the best location for the Preamp on your instrument. We recommend the
upper bout adjacent to the neck, or in the waist area. Avoid any location that may
interfere with neck block, braces or linings.
2. Template
A drilling template is provided for drilling the control shaft holes. Cut out the template
outline. Check that it fits between the upper and lower linings when held inside the
guitar at the chosen location. Tape the template at the location on the outside of the
guitar. With a sharp scribe, pierce the template at the marks. Remove the template.
This should provide you with two drilling centers marked on the side of the guitar.
These centers will be 1.250 inch (31.8mm) apart. At each center, drill a .375 inch
(9.5mm) hole through the side of the guitar. We recommend using a sharp 3/8 inch
spur bit for this operation.
3. Spacer Block
We strongly advise that a wooden spacer block (see Figure 1) be used to add
strength to the mounting area of the guitar and to more evenly distribute the load of
the preamp. We do not recommend using a hex nut and lock washer inside as this
could result in possible damage to the instrument.
