Installation
Installing the Pickup
Once you’ve installed the controller, the pickup
can be installed using either double-sided tape
or screws. Although the tape is convenient, screw-
installation is recommended because it provides
greater security and allows pickup height adjust-
ment for optimum performance.
■
Hardware
The following parts, supplied with the G1D, are
required or optional for installation of the pickup.
Please make sure you have all the parts.

Installation Procedure — Tape
1. Mark the optimum position for
installation.
The pickup should be located between the
bridge pickup and bridge, ideally 20-mm from the
bridge. If the ideal 20-mm placement is not
possible, the pickup should be located as far as
possible, but no more than 20 millimeters away
from the bridge. The cable end of the pickup
should be oriented toward the sixth string (low E).
One pair of the pickup’s magnetic yokes should be
under each string. String spacing varies somewhat
on different guitars, and the pickup will function
properly as long as each string passes over part of
the corresponding yokes (not necessarily the exact
center). Check that the strings pass over the yokes,
even when bending the strings.

NOTES
• Make sure the pickup does not interfere with the
operation of a tremolo arm or other guitar controls.
• If the bridge side pickup of your guitar is a hum-
bucking type, attach the divided pickup to the bridge
side pickup. (See above illustration.)
Once the pickup has been positioned correctly,
carefully mark the position on the guitar body.
Small pieces of marking tape can be used if you
don’t want to mark directly on the guitar body.
