Graphtech GHOST User Manual page 4

When the Hexpander is piggybacked on the Acousti-Phonic,
the mag-to-pin-7 harness is not necessary because Acousti-
phonic passes the acoustic and magnetic signals to the Hex-
pander. But when you install the Hexpander only, adding
the mag-to-pin-7 harness and an acoustic volume control
(250K or 500K audio pot) provides this feature in the absence
of the Acousti-Phonic. Note that the acoustic sound with the
mag-to-pin-7 harness is the raw acoustic sound, and not the
true acoustic sound that the Acousti-Phonic creates. If you
want pin-7 to carry just the mag or just the raw piezo signal,
you can leave the unused wires disconnected and coiled up.

Sample Control Layout(s)
Here are examples of possible control layouts on Strat-
style and Les Paul-style guitars. The ghost® system
is not just for Strats and Les Pauls, and other layouts
are possible, as are custom controls and output op-
tions. Visit www.graphtech.com for more possibilities.

LANNING
Adding a ghost® system to your instrument begins with
careful planning. Decide which optional controls suit the
music you make, and choose locations that are con-
venient for you. To begin, plug the components into
each other and lay them out on top of the guitar to
decide the location of each component. Look for

space confl icts with adjacent com-
ponents, especially the parts of the
magnetic pickup system already in
your guitar. Make sure that the har-
ness wires are long enough to reach the
location of each component. Remem-
ber that any of the optional controls
can be added to the system later if
you've left space for it, but drill-
ing a hole in the wrong place can
be hard to hide. Some routing
may be required to fi t the compo-
nents in your particular instrument.
