4. Preparing the Spacer
Using the drilling template as a guide, make a rectangular wooden spacer that is
2.00 inch x .750 inch x T (50.8mm x 19.0mm x T). T is the measurement derived
from the protruding bushing length minus the outside hardware thickness (Figure 1).
To derive T, insert the control shafts through the holes from the inside of the guitar.
Next, measure the length of the threaded bushing that protrudes out from the side of
the instrument. From this measurement, subtract the thickness of the outside hard-
ware (hex nut and finish washer).
5. Wiring the Transducer
Remove the cover from the AGP-2 Preamp. Locate the terminal block with two sec-
tions to be used to connect the transducer leads (see Figure 2). Thread the trans-
ducer 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. Secure the wires by tightening the screws
on top of the terminal block with a small slot head jeweler’s screwdriver. Check for
shorts. Replace the cover and screws (SEE NEXT SECTION), being careful to
engage the grommet in the appropriate slot.
