SH 075 MIDI Guitar Converter Owners Manual v.1
SHADOW ELECTRONICS
Installing SH 075 on your Guitar
1. Unscrew the strap button and place the unit on the guitar as shown (figure 1).
2. Reinstall the strap button screw through the converter bracket.
3. Mount the pickup under the strings as close to the bridge as possible using the
enclosed screws. OPTION: If you want to avoid screw holes, use the included
double sided adhesive tape.
IMPORTANT:
The end of the pickup with the cable must be under the low E string (No. 6). The
pickup should not be more than 1 mm to 1.5 mm (1/32" to 1/16") away from the
strings. The strings must run over the center of the magnetic pole pieces. This will
ensure accurate tracking. If there is not enough clearance between the body and
the strings to mount the pickup, then raise the bridge saddles and shim the neck
accordingly.
4. Plug the pickup into the converter as illustrated.
