Marking the optimal mounting position
AXON AIX 101
The AIX 101 pickup must be mounted between the rear conventional guitar pickup and
the bridge – ideally at a distance of 20 mm from the bridge. If not enough space is avail-
able to provide a spacing of 20 mm, ensure that the pickup is as far away from the bridge
as possible (not more than 20 mm and no less than 10 mm). The end of the pickup with
the cable must be positioned under the sixth (low E) string. Each of the six magnet pairs
of the pickup must be aligned with one of the strings. The spacing of the strings may vary
slightly from one guitar to the next, but the pickup will work correctly if the strings are
above their respective magnets (it is not necessary to center them precisely). Ensure that
the strings remain over their magnets even when bending them.

Note:
Ensure that the pickup does not restrict the action of the tremolo arm, if present.
Once the pickup is correctly aligned, mark the centers of the screw holes with a sharp
pencil or punch on the guitar top. If you do not want traces of the marking to remain on the
top, use small pieces of marking tape instead of a pencil.
