L.R. Baggs BANJO PICKUP - Banjo Pickup Bridge Installation

STEP 1. BRIDGE/PICKUP INSTALLATION
Before removing the existing bridge, it is a good
idea to put a small pencil mark on the head, just
behind the backside of the feet. This will work
as a reference point for the new bridge to ensure
proper intonation.
Loosen the strings enough to remove the old
bridge. Place the LR Baggs bridge/pickup on the
banjo head using the pencil marks as a locating
guide (see gure 1). Install the bridge with the
wire facing the tailpiece and bring the strings
back up to pitch.
NOTE: This is a good opportunity to check and, if needed, adjust the tension of the banjo
head. Over time, banjo heads can become loose, which can cause the bridge to warp and
can damage the pickup.
