INSTALLATION
■ Attaching the
Pickup Controller Unit
with Double–
sided Tape/Screws
1. Place the Controller in an appropriate
position on the guitar.
* Place the Controller where it does not interfere
with your normal playing technique.
* Be sure that the positioning of the Controller
Unit does not limit access to any of the guitar’s
other controls or adjustments (a fine tuning
control, for example).
* Position the Controller so you can comfortably
operate the S1 and S2 switches.
* Be sure also that the positioning of the Controller
Unit will not place undue strain on any of the
connecting cables; Divided Pickup to Controller,
guitar to Controller, or Controller to [GR].
* Make sure that the plugs of the GK-2A’s
connection cables are well within the body of the
guitar. This will help prevent damage to cables
and connectors should the guitar bump against
something.
2. Use the GK-2A as a template to mark the
anchor point on the guitar. Then very
carefully drill a hole into the guitar on the
mark.
* The diameter of the hole should be about 2 mm
(0.08 inches).
3. After attaching the double–sided tapes to
the bottom of the Controller, secure the
GK-2A with the supplied screw (flat-head,
self-tapping).
* If your guitar is an arch-top (with a round body),
the gap between the Controller and the guitar
may make it difficult to secure the Controller. If
this happens, attach the supplied LP spacers to
the bottom of the Controller. The double–sided
tapes and LP spacers should be attached to the
three positions indicated as follows:
fig.06
fig.30e
* If you’d rather not drill a hole in your guitar, you
can secure the Controller using double-sided tape
or the Velcro fastener. However, by using such
alternatives you risk having the device come loose
during the worst possible moment (ie., a major
solo!).
Also, if the finish on your guitar is less than
perfect, you may discover that the finish is also
removed when you eventually remove the tape.
The supplied tape is actually meant to be used
only temporarily, while determining the best
position to attach the Controller. The Velcro
fastener is meant for those who intend to very
frequently remove and reattach the GK-2A.
