Permanent installation of this pickup should be done with super glue (cyanoacrylate). However, it’s a good idea to experiment with different locations for the low-mass sensor, attaching it temporarily with double-side adhesive tape. Try different locations behind the bridge inside the guitar: on the bass side, treble side, and in the middle. Once you have found the best tone, glue the Perfect timbre pickup in place. Attach the preamp module to the neck block or back and install the endpin output jack as indicated in the instructions accompanying the Perfect timbre. Placing the preamp inside the guitar ensures that the action, sustain, and appearance of the instrument are unaffected.

Jack The 1/4" endpin jack replaces the endpin button. This requires enlarging the hole. The wire leading from the pickup must be soldered to the pins on the jack’s rear. Refer to the installation instructions for your specific endpin jack for correct drilling and soldering procedures.
Usage Tips The Perfect timbre works well with all guitar and keyboard amps, as well as P.A. systems and recording mixers. For added control over the instrument’s tone, use a high-quality preamp. For P.A. and recording applications, a high-quality direct box such as as the D-TAR Solstice or Equinox is suggested.
