Read Me First!

If you are unfamiliar with these products, please pay 
close attention to the dimensional requirements for 
installation. Failure to do so can result in permanent 
damage to the pickup.

Installation of this product is a straightforward 

procedure, but we recommend this job only if you 

are an experienced repair technician.

M-300 and M-400

The Nashville Series flat-top and two piece archtop 

mandolin pickups feature a piezo-ceramic ele-
ment preinstalled in the bridge. Use your preferred 
method for bridge fitting.

For the flat-top model (M-400), up to .050” may 

be removed from either the top or bottom of the 
bridge (Figure 1).

For the archtop model (M-300), be sure to observe 
the “Do not modify” area of the bridge base  
(Figure 2).

Special care must be taken not to damage the 

pickup wire when tooling the bridge blank.

Installing The Jack

After fitting the pickup, place the jack in a com-

fortable location (Figure 3) and tighten it with the 
enclosed turnbuckle key (Figure 4). Be careful not to 
scratch the side of your instrument.
