Attaching the Divided Pickup with screws requires a little more skill (and care), but it will allow you to easily adjust the height of the Divided Pickup later. ■ Attaching the Divided Pickup with double-sided tape 1. Place the Pickup as close to the bridge as possible, and center it with respect to the six strings. (One set of 'yokes' (the actual sensors) should be directly under each string if possible.) * if your guitar has a tremolo arm (whammy bar), be sure the Pickup does not interfere with its operation. * When using copper, brass or bronze wound strings, attach the Pickup about 15 mm (9/16") from the bridge. * Do not locate the Divided Pickup more than 20 mm CL3/16") from the bridge. maximum 20 mm * When viewed from the front, the strings do not necessarily need to be aligned perfectly with the center of the yokes. It's all right as long as a string passes over some portion of its yoke. 'V Front View Top View Carefully mark the position of the Pickup. (Depending on the finish of your guitar you may need to use felt-tipped pen or maybe even small pieces of masking tape, for example.) * Be sure the Divided Pickup is correctly oriented: the cord from the Pickup should emerge from under the sixth string. 2. Be sure the neck (truss rod) and string height are set properly. Then tune each string. 14 INSTALLATION 3. Adjust the height of the Pickup by putting the supplied spacers under it (do not remove the backing from the tape yet!). Use either of the pickup spacers (thick or thin) depending on the height of the Pickup. When using an arch-top guitar, put the Pickup cushion under the pickup spacers. * When i/on attach the pickup to a guitar with curved surface, use two pickup cushions. * The pickup spacers and the pickup cushion are attached to the guitar with double-sided tape which will become thinner by 0.1 mm (0.004") when the backing is removed. Therefore, when using several pickup spacers, you must set the height slightly higher to compensate. The optimum position of the Pickup is where the distances between the Pickup and the strings is about 1.0 mm (0.04") when the highest notes on the neck are fingered. Check the height using the supplied clearance gauge. Adjust the height as necessary. * If the height zuiries between the first and sixth strings, compensate by adding the appropriate half-width or one-third width spacers. 4. Remove the strings from your guitar. 5. Remove the backing from the tapes for the pickup cushion (if being used), the pickup spacers, and the Pickup, and carefully attach them to the bottom of the Pickup. Then carefully attach the Pickup to the guitar 6. Put the strings back on the guitar and tune them. Then carefully check the height of the Pickup with the clearance gauge. Play the guitar (especially in the upper range) to be sure the strings do not touch the Pickup. 7. If the Divided Pickup is too high or too low... (1) Remove the strings from the guitar. (2) Very carefully remove the Pickup from the guitar. * Please handle the Pickup gently. Because of its size and shape, the Pickup is very fragile. Bending or twisting it may cause it to damage the coil elements. Carefully insert something thin and flat (like a table knife) under the Pickup from the sixth string side. Gently pry upwards. 15 INSTALLATION (3) Carefully remove the double-sided tape from the bottom of the Pickup as shown: (4) Adjust the height of the Pickup. If you wish to add a spacer, first remove the used double-sided tape, then add the new spacer. Remove the backing from the new spacer. If you need to remove a spacer, be sure to remove the spacers itself and the bottom of the Pickup. (6) Attach the Pickup to the upper side of the spacer that is applied to the guitar side. (7) Put the strings back on the guitar and tune them properly. Again check the height of the Divided Pickup. * yAfterwards, you will need to adjust the Pickup sensitivity on the IGRj. If the signal level from the Divided Pickup is too high, lower the Pickup slightly. <}=> double-sided tape. (5) Attach the double-sided tape to the INSTALLATION В Attaching the Divided Pickup with Screws You can also use screws lo secure the Divided Pickup. Marking the position of the Pickup and checking the height is exactly the same as in "a. Attaching the Divided Pickup with double-sided tape". Refer to that section before proceeding. * When attaching the Divided Pickup with screws, you need a 13 mm space between the body of the guitar and the strings. 1. Place the Divided Pickup in the appropriate position. Carefully mark the location of the screw holes (at either end of the Pickup) on the guitar. 2. Remove the strings from the guitar. 3. Very carefully drill holes at the marked locations. * The holes should be about 2 mm (0.08") in diameter and approximately 2 to 3 mm deep. * If the guitar is made of a hard wood (maple, rock maple, cherry, rosewood, etc.), make the holes slightly larger than 2 mm. 5.
