3. Replacing the strings and adjusting the pickup height
Replace the strings of the instrument and adjust the height of the pickup by turning the
mounting screws. The distance between the upper edge of the pickup and the undersides
of the strings should be around 1 mm when pressing the string to the highest fret. Use the
included gauge to check the spacing.
Installation with mounting plates (AIX 103 only)
Permits the pickup to be removed and replaced without having to readjust the pickup
height.
1. Apply one double-sided adhesive strip each to the undersides of the mounting plates.
(Do not remove the protective backing.)
2. Attach the mounting plates to the pickup with screws and springs. Select the correct
screw length to ensure the proper height of the pickup (6, 8, 10 or 12 mm). You may
initially mount the pickup with 6 mm screws and replace them with screws of the
proper length after installing the mounting plates.
3. Attach the pickup holders to the mounting plates with the 3x6 mm screws and wash-
ers.
4. Align the pickup assembly on the body of the guitar in order to mark the positions of
the mounting plates.
5. Remove the protective backing from the double-sided adhesive strips (left and right)
on the mounting plates.
6. Hold the pickup assembly over the marked mounting location without contacting the
adhesive surfaces, align the mounting plates exactly and attach the assembly.
Press the pickup gently into place at either end so that it adheres properly.
If the mounting plates are also to be fastened with screws, remove the pickup and
its holders from the mounting plates at this point. Drill holes with a diameter of
2 mm vertically into the guitar body at the mounting point. Attach the mounting
plates to the guitar body with one countersunk screw (3x10 mm) each.
