Attaching the GK-3 to the Guitar
4) After removing the pickup, carefully
remove the double–sided tape from
the bottom of the pickup.
5) Adjust the height of the Pickup.
If you wish to add a spacer, first
completely remove the used double–
sided tape from the top surface of
the existing spacers, then add the
new spacer. If you need to remove
any spacers, remove the necessary
number of spacers and completely
remove the remaining double–sided
tape from the top surface.
6) Attach two pieces of the new
double–sided tape B to the bottom of
the pickup.
7) Attach the pickup to the top of the
spacer that is applied to the guitar side.
8) Restring and tune the guitar, then
check the height of the Divided
Pickup again.
*Afterwards, you will need to adjust the pickup
sensitivity when connecting to GK devices. However,
you may find that the sensitivity level on the GK
device is too high. In such instances, you may be able
to correct the problem by widening the clearance
between the strings and the pickup. Carry out Steps 1
through 8 again to lower the Pickup height slightly.
How to Use the Clearance Gauge
The divided pickup height must be adjusted so that the clearance between each string and
the divided pickup is 1.0 mm (0.04”) when the highest fret is fingered.
The clearance gauge supplied with the GK-3 is 1.0 mm thick; place the gauge between the
strings and the divided pickup as shown in the figure below, then check and adjust the height.
