Read Me First!
If you are unfamiliar with these products, please pay
close attention to the dimensional requirements for
installation. Failure to do so can result in permanent
damage to the pickup.
Installation of this product is a straightforward
procedure, but we recommend this job only if you
are an experienced repair technician.
M-300 and M-400
The Nashville Series flat-top and two piece archtop
mandolin pickups feature a piezo-ceramic ele-
ment preinstalled in the bridge. Use your preferred
method for bridge fitting.
For the flat-top model (M-400), up to .050" may
be removed from either the top or bottom of the
bridge (Figure 1).
For the archtop model (M-300), be sure to observe
the "Do not modify" area of the bridge base
(Figure 2).
Special care must be taken not to damage the
pickup wire when tooling the bridge blank.
Installing The Jack
After fitting the pickup, place the jack in a com-
fortable location (Figure 3) and tighten it with the
enclosed turnbuckle key (Figure 4). Be careful not to
scratch the side of your instrument.
