Installation

Fig 3
Fig 4
Tests have shown that in
general, the best sound on
most acoustics will have the
pickup installed outboard of
the X braces. Placement can
and will vary from one
instrument to the other. Some
will sound best with the
pickup on the bass side (as
shown in fig 1)
Other guitars will sound best
with the pickup installed on
the treble side of the top.
Notice that the Pickup may
prefer to be placed anywhere
along the X, even between the finger braces ( fig 2).
Figures 3 and 4 show some alternate placements for the pickup. Some instruments will have better sound and fullness
with pickup mounted below the bridge plate as shown.
Pickup Placement For Classical Guitars
Pickup placement on a classical will be generally in the area of the bridge; usually biased towards the bass side of the
instrument. Sometimes it will sound best above the bridge towards the sound hole rather than below the bridge. You will
have to experiment a bit to find the ‘sweet spot’ for the pickup.
Dualie Inside’R Pickup Installation Instruction For a Ukulele
Follow steps 1 through 7 of Installing the endpin jack in the Guitars section.
a) Take some of the inside putty supplied with the pickup and roll
and knead the putty in your fingers to soften it up. Apply it evenly
to the face of the pickup (this is the side with no label on it) that
will contact the soundboard of the instrument. Please note that we
supply much more putty than you will actually need to use in
installing the pickup. A proper layer of putty on the pickup will be
1/16" thick.
b) Insert your fingers through the sound hole of the uke and press
and slightly wiggle the pickup into place on the soundboard. Most
ukes will have a brace going across the instrument just below the
sound hole and another brace going across below the bridge. You
will install the pickup centered on the soundboard about three or
four inches below the sound hole toward the bridge (this is about
as far as one’s fingers can reach inside) in the area between the
two braces.
