Tap Body Sensor Installation

The Tap Body Sensor should be installed first. The Body

Sensor installs onto the bridge plate of the instrument

directly under the saddle. Make sure the area where the

body sensor will mount is smooth. Clean this surface with

an alcohol wipe or a cotton swab moistened with

rubbing alcohol. Let dry.

Use the included mounting tool and two golf tee locaters to

ensure proper placement of the Tap Body Sensor.

To properly mount the Tap Body Sensor, insert it as shown

into the mounting tool.

Note: Before proceeding with the next 5 steps, practice installing

the Tap Body Sensor a few times with the backing paper still

attached to the pickup.

1. Peel off backing paper and add 3 small drops of Gel

Type Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) One in the center

and ½" in from each end of the sensor.
