Practice Procedure for Guitars with Bridgeplate:
•
Before you actually install the pickups inside your guitar, you should perform a series of practice-runs
without using the glue. This is important for learning the correct movements and getting the feel.
•
Just place the pickups centered on that bridgeplate plate, these are the correct positions.
•
Start with the pickup for the D and A string right beside the middle brace. Place one pickup inside the
guitar.
•
Position it as shown in diagram above with the metal side facing the wood by using the reinforcement
plate and the middle brace as your guides.
•
One edge of the pickup should touch the brace.
•
Press the transducer against the desired location with your finger to practice the glue attachment (do not
use glue yet!).
•
Now try out the installation of the second center pickup for the G and B strings. Place one transducer
inside the guitar and again, position it on the reinforcement plate and the brace.
•
This practice run will make sure you will actually find the correct locations for the center transducers. The
other 2 pickups for the high E and the low E strings have to be attached right beside the two center
pickups. Here you cannot perform a realistic practice before you actually installed the 2 center pickups.
•
Please perform a practice run for these pickups as soon as you mounted the 2 center pickups.
•
Make sure to perform all practice tests thoroughly.
