We updated the design in 2017 to further optimize string-to-string balance. The pickup features a screw-mounted installation on the biscuit for maximum feedback resistance and best possible sound transmission and comes pre- wired with an endpin jack including an external mount fastening system called “dual-lock” (made by 3M). This manual describes the installation with external jack mount only. Tools needed: • Screwdrivers for the different screw sizes on your guitar and pickup • 5/64” (1.9mm) drill bit • Drill • Duct tape • Clear scotch tape An internal jack mount could be done by a skilled luthier/guitar tech. Please note that the pickup installation procedure and location is the exact same for both, external or internal jack-mount. With an internal jack, the pickup wire will be routed underneath the resonator cover and via a small hole in the sidewall of the resonator well to the internally mounted jack. It is a somewhat delicate procedure that requires soldering. We include a small bag with the required washers, nut and strap button for the internal jack mount. Please note that this procedure will void the warranty if not done by a K&K approved luthier, please email [email protected] for installation tips. PICKUP INSTALLATION 1. Loosen the strings and install a capo on the 10th fret (or remove the strings and skip #2). 2. Stick a piece of duct-tape over the ball-end-holes in the tail piece (string holder) to prevent the ball-ends to snap out of the holes. 3. Remove the tail piece by unscrewing the strap knob (and additional screws if necessary). 4. Unscrew the small screws around the perimeter of the resonator cover and lift it off along with the strings and tail piece as shown in photo.
