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.

Make sure your guitar's neck (truss rod) and
string height/intonation (bridge) are properly
adjusted before installing the G1D.
Installing the Controller
