Attaching the GK-3 to the Guitar
■Attaching with Double–sided Tape and a Screw
1. Place the controller in an appropriate
position on the guitar surface to
determine where it is to be attached.
Pay attention to the following points at
this time.
• Install on a level surface.
•Position the controller so it does not
interfere with your playing.
•If your guitar includes a fine tuning
control, position the controller so it does
not interfere with operation of the fine
tuning.
•Position the controller so you can
comfortably operate the select switch, the
S1 and S2 switches, and other controls.
•Position the controller so that it does not
place undue strain on the Normal Pickup
Input jack, divided pickup, or GK
connector cables.
*Make sure that the plugs connected to the GK
connector and Normal Pickup Input jack do not
stick out, as this may result in damage should undue
strain be placed on the GK connector or Normal
Pickup Input jack.
2. Once the controller position has been
determined, place the controller in
position and carefully drill a pilot hole
in the guitar body where the
controller’s attachment hole is located.
*The diameter of the hole should be about 2 mm (0.08
inches).
*Confirm that there are no other problems in
attaching the controller before drilling the pilot hole.
3. After attaching the double–sided tape
A to the underside of the Controller,
attach the controller to the guitar.

4. Secure the controller with the supplied
screw (flat-head, 3x16 mm).
fig.1170e (Securing with the Screw)
*If you’d rather not drill a hole in your guitar, you
can secure the Controller using only the double-
sided tape or the holders. However, if only the
double-sided tape is used to secure the unit, shocks
from rough handling during performances and from
use over an extended period will cause the tape to
deteriorate, with the GK-3 shifting out of position as
a result. Furthermore, if the finish on your guitar is
less than perfect, you may discover that the finish is
also removed when you later remove the tape.
Put the screw (flat-head, 3x16 mm)
through this hole.
