Installing the pickup
Once you have mounted the controller to your instrument, attach the PU 100 pickup with
double-sided tape or screws. Although adhesive tape is the most convenient method, we
recommend screws, as these provide better seating and permit the height of the pickup to
be adjusted. Regardless of the mounting method, the optimal position of the pickup must
be determined first.
Marking the optimal mounting position
The PU 100 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 available 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.
