Attaching the GK-3 to the Guitar
 
The GK-3 can be attached to and used with conventional electric and acoustic guitars. 
Please read the following precautions before installing the GK-3.
 
Precautions Before Installing
 
• Do not use the GK-3 with 12-string 
guitars or guitars with other unusual or 
customized string setups, guitars strung 
with non-metal core nylon strings. The 
unit will not function properly with these 
instruments.
• Make any adjustments to the guitar neck, 
string height, and other such 
modifications before installing the GK-3.
• Try placing the divided pickup and the 
controller unit on the guitar before 
actually attaching them to confirm that 
there will be no problem with the 
installation.
• When using the screw to attach the 
controller, we recommend that you first 
attach the GK-3 temporarily using the 
holder, then after confirming that there 
are no problems when actually 
performing with the unit, secure it with 
the screw.
• If only the double-sided tape is used to 
attach the controller, shocks from rough 
handling during performances and from 
extended use will cause the tape to 
deteriorate, with the controller shifting 
out of position as a result. Also, if the 
finish on your guitar is less than perfect, 
you may discover that the finish is also 
removed when you later remove the tape. 
The supplied tape is intended to be used 
only very temporarily, to help you 
determine the optimum position for the 
controller. 
• With certain guitars, the space between 
the pickup at the bridge position and the 
bridge itself is too narrow to allow 
installation of the divided pickup. In such 
instances, it may be possible to attach the 
pickup by modifying the guitar (for 
example, by moving the bridge pickup 
more towards the neck to make room for 
the divided pickup); consult your guitar 
dealer.
