Installation

Installing the G1D on a guitar is not a
difficult process, but it does require care and at
least a modicum of mechanical ability. If you
don't feel totally confident that you can handle
the job, it might be a good idea to leave the
installation to someone experienced in guitar
modification or repair.
Guitar Compatibility
The G1D can be installed on most electric and
steel-string acoustic guitars, with the following
exceptions:
Since the G1D employs a magnetic pickup, it
will not work with nylon or other non-metallic
strings.
The G1D is designed for use with 6-string
guitars. It will not work properly with 12-string
guitars or other non-standard string configura-
tions.
The G1D pickup should be installed between
the guitar's bridge and bridge pickup. Installa-
tion may not be possible if there is not enough
room between the bridge and bridge pickup of
your guitar, or between the guitar top and
strings.
