9.
Install the pickup on the screw as shown in the photo. Apply
some Vaseline (or any clear ointment you may have at
home) around the pickup’s outer edge. This acts as a
dampening agent.
10.
Install one washer and one nut and lightly finger-tighten the
nut.
11.
In our tests the best sound and the best feedback resistance
was achieved if the nut on top of the pickup is finger-
tightened very lightly only. Just as much as needed to lightly
hold the pickup with its outer edge flush against the
resonator cone. Tighten the lower nut so that the pickup
cannot be not be moved up and down but allow for very
easy sideways movement (left and right). The Vaseline will
dampen any slight movements during play.
12.
Now install the spring and tighten the second “lock” nut. Do
not to change the setting of the lower nut as this would
change the pressure applied to the pickup.
13.
The lock nut can be finger tightened as well, but it should
compress the spring in order to keep the lower nut from
moving.
14.
Re-check if the pressure setting of the lower nut did not change and reset lower nut if necessary. Correct
light pressure is the key to a good sound and feedback control.
15.
Install the jack and the resonator cone assembly. Make sure that the cable does not touch the cone inside
the guitar.
16.
Reinstall resonator cover, string-holder and strings.
