1. Apply masking tape around the endblock area to protect the instrument.
2. Locate an X-Acto saw blade 1/16" (1.6mm) away from the body and saw off the
endpin.
3. Centerpunch a guide hole in the center of the trimmed endpin.
4. Drill a 1/8" (3.2mm) pilot hole through the endblock.
5. Line up a 15/32" (11.9mm) Spade bit in the pilot hole and begin drilling. Maintain
a perpendicular plunge in relation to the instrument. Use steady (but not heavy)
pressure, especially as the drill exits inside the guitar.
6. To avoid damage to the instrument, let the drill come to a complete stop before
removing it from the hole.
V - Install the Pickup
1. Insert the pickup in the slot and then strip and tin the wire ends.
2. Unscrew the shielding cap on the jack to expose the solder terminals. Thread
the pickup wire through the shielding cap.
Gently bend back the strain relief/sleeve tab to gain better access to the Tip ter-
minal.
3. Solder the pickup "hot" wire to the Tip terminal, which is the shortest of the three
tabs.
Solder the pickup shield to the ground tab on the jack. Gently tighten the strain
relief.
4. Refasten the shielding cap to the jack.
