Roland GK-2 - Attaching the Divided Pickup

2. Attaching the Divided Pickup
The Divided Pickup can be attached to your guitar
using both-sided adhesive tape, or using screws.
Attaching the Divided Pickup with screws requires
higher skills, but it allows you to adjust the height
of the divided pickup later.
a. Attaching the Divided Pickup with
Both-sided Adhesive Tape
@ Insert the divided pickup under the strings and
place it at an appropriate position.
Basically, the pickup should be located at the middle
of the six strings, and nearest to the bridge. If,
however, your guitar has a tremolo unit, it may be
touched by the Divided Pickup. If so, move the
Divided Pickup so far that it will not interrupt the
function of the tremolo unit. When using a guitar
with heavy gauge strings, attach the divided pickup
about 15mm (%e") away from the bridge.
* In any case, do not keep the Divided Pickup
away from the bridge by more than 20mm ('%e").
Maximum 20mm
* The appropriate position of the divided pickup is
where the center marker marked on the pickup
stays about the middle of the third and the fourth
strings.

* Please mark the position of the pickup so that it
can be distinguished later.
* Be sure that the direction of the divided pickup
is correct. Where the cord comes from is the
sixth string.
@ Check if the warp of the neck and the height of
the strings are optimum (if not, be sure to ad-
just them), then tune each string.
@ Adjust the height of the divided pickup by put-
ting the supplied spacer under the pickup. (At
this stage, do not peel the tape yet.)
Use either of the two pickup spacers (thicker and
thinner ones) depending on the height of the
pickup.
