INSTALLATION

Before installing the GK-2A , read the following "INSTALLATION NOTES."

INSTALLATION NOTES

• Even when properly installed, the GK-2A
will not work with 12-string guitars, guitars
with unusual or customized string setups,
nylon-string guitars, gut-string guitars, or
bass guitars.
• If your guitar has a tremolo arm (whammy
bar), attach the arm before setting up the
GK-2A.
• Before removing the tremolo arm from your
guitar, set the Select Switch on the GK-2A to
the "GUITAR" or "SYNTH" position.
• Adjust the neck (truss rod) and the height of
the strings if necessary before installing the
GK-2A.
• Try placing the Divided Pickup and the
Controller Unit on the guitar to see if they
are compatible before actually attaching
them. First use the double–sided tape to
ensure that there is no problem with
installation, then secure the Controller with
the screw provided.
• Double-sided tape or Velcro fasteners are
unreliable for secure, long-term installation.
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 adhesive tape is intended
to be used only very temporarily, to help
you determine the optimum position for the
pickup. The Velcro fastener is meant for
those who intend to frequently remove and
reattach the GK-2A.
• If there is no room for the Divided Pickup
between the guitar's bridge pickup and the
bridge itself, you would be better off
modifying your guitar. (If possible, move a
bridge pickup closer to the neck to make
room for the Divided Pickup.)
