STR APJACK INSTALL ATION
Drill a clean 1/2” hole in the tail-block for the strapjack. Remove dust & debris from inside the guitar. Remove
the strap ring, retaining nut and one washer from the end of the jack. Bring the jack through the pre-drilled
hole in the tail-block. Using the internal nut, set the proper
depth that will allow the entire smaller threaded section to
protrude from the instrument
(see
fi
gure 1)
.
With the jack in place, lay the remaining washer over the
threads and attach the external retaining nut until it’s tight.
Finish by attaching the strap ring. Asserting too much
pressure may crack the
fi
nish.
PICKUP INSTALLATION
Connect the strapjack to the pickup with the 1/8” plug. Loosen the clamp screws on either end of the M80 until
the clamps are open enough to accommodate the soundboard thickness. Slide the pickup into the guitar’s
soundhole up towards the neck and tighten the screws. Secure the wire with the clips provided. Carefully
tighten the screws until the M80 is snug. If you are concerned about the possibility of the M80 damaging your
guitar’s
fi
nish, consider applying thin cork pads (not included) between the clamps and guitar. The clamps
have been left unpadded to improve coupling between the pickup and guitar body. Because the M80 picks
up body vibrations, padding could have some a
ff
ect on the pickup’s responsiveness.
