AXON AIX 101/103 (English)
The double-sided adhesive can be rolled off the underside of the pickup with a fingertip.
Correct the height of the pickup by adding or removing spacers.
When adding spacers to raise the pickup, remove the remaining double-sided adhe-
sive from the existing spacer before removing the protective backing from the new
spacer and applying it to the existing one.
When removing a spacer to lower the pickup, remove the spacer together with its ad-
hesive.
Next, apply a fresh layer of double-sided adhesive to the underside of the pickup and re-
move its protective backing. Carefully apply the pickup to the top spacer. Replace and
tune the strings.
Mounting with screws and springs
Mounting the pickup with screws and springs has a number of advantages over adhesive
mounting. Not only do the screws ensure that the pickup is securely positioned, they also
permit the height of the pickup to be adjusted easily, without adding or removing spacers
and adhesive strips.
Note:
mounting with screws is only possible if a minimum space of 13 mm is available
between the instrument top and the strings.
1. Drilling the screw holes
Remove the strings from the instrument and carefully drill two holes with a diameter of
2 mm and a depth of approx. 10 mm at the marked points (see page 15 „Marking the op-
timal mounting position“). If the top is made of extremely hard wood such as maple, cherry
or rosewood, it may be necessary to drill holes of a slightly larger diameter.
2. Mounting the pickup
Insert the self-tapping button-head screws (3x25 mm) through the screw holes in the
pickup and the springs under the pickup. Fasten the pickup by threading the screws into
the holes in the guitar top.
