USER GUIDE
NEO-BUSTER® SOUNDHOLE PICKUP
Page 2
Requirements
The Neo-Buster is designed to t most steel string, at-top guitars with a
4 inch (10.16cm) diameter soundhole. We recommend you string your guitar with
bronze or phosphor bronze strings to achieve the correct response from the
pickup.
Description
This passive magnetic pickup produces the bright, shimmering qualities
associated with single coil pickups. Note that a single coil pickup by its nature is
susceptible to 50 – 60Hz hum. To minimize hum, keep the Neo-Buster away from
orescent lights, dimmer packs, computer monitors and transformers.

Setup
Tuck the cable into the cable strain relief opening. Allow for some slack so that
the cable is not bent at the underside of the pickup housing. With the guitar’s
strings in place, slide the Neo-Buster under the strings until it drops into the
soundhole, parallel to the end of the ngerboard. You may need to release some
string tension in order to allow the Neo-Buster to install more easily.
Travel / Storage
We have carefully engineered Neo-Buster with materials designed to reduce
interaction with most guitar nishes. However, we recommend removing the
Neo-Buster from your guitar if you store the instrument for long periods. If the
rubber cable comes to rest on the guitar’s nish while the instrument is stored, it
may interact with the lacquer and leave a permanent mark.
