Installation for the 1455-3 Insider

TO INSTALL THE TRANSDUCER: The bottom surface of the INSIDER is covered with a special foam strip adhesive by which it may be affixed to the inner surface of the guitar top. To make this installation, first loosen the strings on the guitar so that access to the inside of the instruments is possible through the sound hole. Peel the protective paper covering from the adhesive strip. Then insert the pickup into the instru-
into the instrument through the soundhole and position it parallel to and directly beneath the bridge (immediately in front of the string pins), pressing the sticky surface of the pickup firmly against the inner surface of the guitar top.
TO INSTALL AND CONNECT THE OUTPUT JACK: Tools required: (1) 16 to 18 length of 1/4 diameter rod (e.g. wooden dowel) 5/16 screwdriver 9/16 open-end wrench PROCEDURE 1) Remove the label from the body of the Fas-Jac. 2) Unscrew and remove the end cap from the Fas-Jac. 3) Remove the end pin from the guitar and drill a 1/2
diameter hole through the end block where the Fas-Jac is to be installed. 4) Insert the 1/4 diameter rod into the guitar through the hole in the end block until visible through the sound hole. 5) Push the rod into the Fas-Jac and pull the Fas-Jac through the end block until it is stopped by the nut threaded onto the body of the Fas-Jac. 6) Measure the length of the exposed Fas-Jac threads visible on the outside of the guitar. The length of the exposed threads must measure at least 1/8 (but not more than 5/32). If the exposed length is not correct,
push the Fas-Jac back into the guitar until accessible through the sound hole and adjust the position of the nut on the body of the Fas-Jac. Pull the Fas-Jac back through the end block and re-measure the length of the exposed threads. If necessary, repeat this procedure until the proper length of threads is exposed through the hole in the end of the block. 7) Slip the end cap over the rod and screw onto the Fas-Jac until finger tight. 8) Remove the rod from the Fas-Jac. 9) Place an open-end wrench over the end cap and
tighten the cap while holding the body of the Fas-Jac with a screw driver inserted into the slot in the end of the Fas-Jac. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR THE 1457 & 1457XL OUTSIDER Parts supplied: (1) Outsider pickup with adhesive mounting strip attached (1) Output jack with adhesive pad attached
