Installation
10. Select a location on the back or sides of the guitar and
secure the battery holder/power supply. Clean the surface
using rubbing alcohol before applying the Velcro.
11. Working from the inside of the guitar, insert the pickup
through the hole drilled in Step 4. Continue sliding
the pickup into the slot until it reaches the opposite end or,
in the case of a short saddle, until it slides into the
shallow hole that was drilled at the far end of the slot. (Refer
to note 5 under “Important Notes”).
12. Insert the saddle into the slot. If you intend to adjust the
height, proceed to Steps 13 and 14. If you do not intend to
adjust the height, skip to Step 15.
13. Note the height of the previously scribed line in relation to
the top surface of the bridge. This is an indicator of the
amount of material that needs to be removed. Leave a
small amount of material (.005” to .010”) to be removed by
hand sanding.
a. The preferred method is to use a vertical mill with a
sharp 1/4” diameter end mill turning at around 1000 RPM.
Set up your work carefully to ensure even material removal.
b. A second method is to use a belt sander with an
approx. 150 grit belt. Be careful to keep the saddle
perpendicular to the belt and remove material evenly from
the entire surface.
