IMPORTANT NOTES

■

Sensitivity Adjustment

• To properly drive the [GR] with the GK-2A,
you must adjust the height of the Divided
Pickup and the sensitivity of the [GR].
These adjustments are very important if you
want to take full advantage of the [GR]’s
superior tracking ability.
Please read the GK-2A and [GR] owner’s
manuals.

■

C-13A/B cable

• Be sure to use the C-13A/B cable to connect
the GK-2A to the [GR]. Using any other
cable may cause unnecessary problems.

• The C-13A/B is a locking-type cable which
cannot be disconnected unless it is unlocked.

fig.02-1

• Before playing, be sure to wrap the cable
around the guitar strap near the strap hook.
This will eliminate any unnecessary strain
on the cable or the GK-2A.

IMPORTANT NOTES

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and
observe the following:

Power Supply

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices,

turn off the power to all units. This will help
prevent malfunctions and/or damage to
speakers or other devices.

Placement

351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or

other equipment containing large power
transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate
the problem, change the orientation of this
unit; or move it farther away from the source
of interference.

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight,

place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it
inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise
subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive
heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the

unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to
rain or other moisture.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a

soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly
dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure
to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or

solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility
of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using
the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls;
and when using its jacks and connectors.
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables,
grasp the connector itself—never pull on the
cable. This way you will avoid causing
shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.

559b

• When you need to transport the unit, pack it
in shock-absorbent material. Transporting
the unit without doing so can cause it to
become scratched or damaged, and could
lead to malfunction.

9

INSTALLATION

Before installing the GK-2A , read the following “INSTALLATION NOTES.”

INSTALLATION NOTES

• Even when properly installed, the GK-2A
will not work with 12-string guitars, guitars
with unusual or customized string setups,
nylon-string guitars, gut-string guitars, or
bass guitars.

• If your guitar has a tremolo arm (whammy
bar), attach the arm before setting up the
GK-2A.

• Before removing the tremolo arm from your
guitar, set the Select Switch on the GK-2A to
the “GUITAR” or “SYNTH” position.

• Adjust the neck (truss rod) and the height of
the strings if necessary before installing the
GK-2A.

• Try placing the Divided Pickup and the
Controller Unit on the guitar to see if they
are compatible before actually attaching
them. First use the double–sided tape to
ensure that there is no problem with
installation, then secure the Controller with
the screw provided.

• Double-sided tape or Velcro fasteners are
unreliable for secure, long-term installation.
Also, if the finish on your guitar is less than
perfect, you may discover that the finish is
also removed when you later remove the
tape. The supplied adhesive tape is intended
to be used only very temporarily, to help
you determine the optimum position for the
pickup. The Velcro fastener is meant for
those who intend to frequently remove and
reattach the GK-2A.

• If there is no room for the Divided Pickup
between the guitar’s bridge pickup and the
bridge itself, you would be better off
modifying your guitar. (If possible, move a
bridge pickup closer to the neck to make
room for the Divided Pickup.)

Attaching the

Pickup Controller Unit

sided Tape/Screws

1.

Place the Controller in an appropriate
position on the guitar.

* Place the Controller where it does not interfere

with your normal playing technique.

* Be sure that the positioning of the Controller

Unit does not limit access to any of the guitar’s
other controls or adjustments (a fine tuning
control, for example).

* Position the Controller so you can comfortably

operate the S1 and S2 switches.

* Be sure also that the positioning of the Controller

Unit will not place undue strain on any of the
connecting cables; Divided Pickup to Controller,
guitar to Controller, or Controller to [GR].

* Make sure that the plugs of the GK-2A’s

connection cables are well within the body of the
guitar. This will help prevent damage to cables
and connectors should the guitar bump against
something.

2.

Use the GK-2A as a template to mark the
anchor point on the guitar. Then very
carefully drill a hole into the guitar on the
mark.

* The diameter of the hole should be about 2 mm

(0.08 inches).

Put the screw (flat-head) through this hole.

3.

After attaching the double–sided tapes to
the bottom of the Controller, secure the
GK-2A with the supplied screw (flat-head,
self-tapping).

* If your guitar is an arch-top (with a round body),

the gap between the Controller and the guitar
may make it difficult to secure the Controller. If
this happens, attach the supplied LP spacers to
the bottom of the Controller. The double–sided
tapes and LP spacers should be attached to the
three positions indicated as follows:

* If you’d rather not drill a hole in your guitar, you

can secure the Controller using double-sided tape
or the Velcro fastener. However, by using such
alternatives you risk having the device come loose
during the worst possible moment (ie., a major
solo!).
Also, if the finish on your guitar is less than
perfect, you may discover that the finish is also
removed when you eventually remove the tape.
The supplied tape is actually meant to be used
only temporarily, while determining the best
position to attach the Controller. The Velcro
fastener is meant for those who intend to very
frequently remove and reattach the GK-2A.

INSTALLATION

2. Attaching the Divided Pickup

The Divided Pickup can be attached to your guitar using double–sided tape or screws. Attaching the
Divided Pickup with screws requires a little more skill (and care), but it will allow you to easily adjust
the height of the Divided Pickup later.

■

Attaching the Divided Pickup with double–sided tape

1.

Place the Pickup as close to the bridge as
possible, and center it with respect to the
six strings.

(One set of ‘yokes’ (the actual sensors)
should be directly under each string if
possible.)

fig.07

* When viewed from the front, the strings do not

necessarily need to be aligned perfectly with the
center of the yokes. It’s all right as long as a
string passes over some portion of its yoke.

fig.09

* if your guitar has a tremolo arm (whammy bar),

be sure the Pickup does not interfere with its
operation.

* When using copper, brass or bronze wound

strings, attach the Pickup about 15 mm (9/16”)
from the bridge.

* Do not locate the Divided Pickup more than 20

mm (13/16”) from the bridge.

fig.08

maximum 20 mm

14

Front View

Carefully mark the position of the Pickup.
(Depending on the finish of your guitar you
may need to use felt-tipped pen or maybe
even small pieces of masking tape, for
example.)

* Be sure the Divided Pickup is correctly oriented:

the cord from the Pickup should emerge from
under the sixth string.

2.

Be sure the neck (truss rod) and string
height are set properly. Then tune each
string.

Top View

3.

Adjust the height of the Pickup by putting
the supplied spacers under it (do not
remove the backing from the tape yet!).

Use either of the pickup spacers (thick or
thin) depending on the height of the Pickup.
When using an arch-top guitar, put the
Pickup cushion under the pickup spacers.

* When you attach the pickup to a guitar with

curved surface, use two pickup cushions.

fig.10

Pickup Spacer

Pickup Cushion

* The pickup spacers and the pickup cushion are

attached to the guitar with double–sided tape
which will become thinner by 0.1 mm (0.004”)
when the backing is removed. Therefore, when
using several pickup spacers, you must set the
height slightly higher to compensate.

INSTALLATION

4.

Remove the strings from your guitar.

5.

Remove the backing from the tapes for the
pickup cushion (if being used), the pickup
spacers, and the Pickup, and carefully
attach them to the bottom of the Pickup.
Then carefully attach the Pickup to the
guitar

6.

Put the strings back on the guitar and tune
them. Then carefully check the height of
the Pickup with the clearance gauge.

Play the guitar (especially in the upper
range) to be sure the strings do not touch the
Pickup.

7.

If the Divided Pickup is too high or too
low...

(1) Remove the strings from the guitar.
(2) Very carefully remove the Pickup from

the guitar.

* Please handle the Pickup gently. Because of its

size and shape, the Pickup is very fragile.
Bending or twisting it may cause it to damage
the coil elements.

Carefully insert something thin and flat (like
a table knife) under the Pickup from the
sixth string side. Gently pry upwards.

fig.11

The optimum position of the Pickup is
where the distances between the Pickup and
the strings is about 1.0 mm (0.04”) when the
highest notes on the neck are fingered.

Check the height using the supplied
clearance gauge. Adjust the height as
necessary.

* If the height varies between the first and sixth

strings, compensate by adding the appropriate
half-width or one-third width spacers.

15

INSTALLATION

(3) Carefully remove the double–sided tape

from the bottom of the Pickup as
shown:

fig.12

(4) Adjust the height of the Pickup.

If you wish to add a spacer, first remove
the used double–sided tape, then add
the new spacer. Remove the backing
from the new spacer.
If you need to remove a spacer, be sure
to remove the spacers itself and the
double–sided tape.

(5) Attach the double–sided tape to the

bottom of the Pickup.

(6) Attach the Pickup to the upper side of

the spacer that is applied to the guitar
side.

(7) Put the strings back on the guitar and

tune them properly. Again check the
height of the Divided Pickup.

* Afterwards, you will need to adjust the Pickup

sensitivity on the [GR]. If the signal level from
the Divided Pickup is too high, lower the Pickup
slightly.

HOW TO USE THE CLEARANCE GAUGE

The optimum distance between the Pickup and each string is about 1.0 mm when the highest notes on
the neck are fingered.
The supplied clearance gauge is 1.0 mm (0.04”) thick. As shown below, insert the clearance gauge
between the Pickup and the strings. Adjust the Pickup height as necessary.

fig.13

16

INSTALLATION

■

Attaching the Divided Pickup with Screws

You can also use screws to secure the Divided Pickup. Marking the position of the Pickup and
checking the height is exactly the same as in “a. Attaching the Divided Pickup with double–sided
tape”. Refer to that section before proceeding.

* When attaching the Divided Pickup with screws, you need a 13 mm space between the body of the guitar and

the strings.

1.

Place the Divided Pickup in the
appropriate position. Carefully mark the
location of the screw holes (at either end of
the Pickup) on the guitar.

2.

Remove the strings from the guitar.

3.

Very carefully drill holes at the marked
locations.

* The holes should be about 2 mm (0.08”) in

diameter and approximately 2 to 3 mm deep.

* If the guitar is made of a hard wood (maple, rock

maple, cherry, rosewood, etc.), make the holes
slightly larger than 2 mm.

5.

Put the strings back on the guitar and tune
them properly.

6.

Adjust the height of the Pickup.

Adjust the height of the Pickup by loosening
or tightening the screws. Use the clearance
gauge to set the proper Pickup height.

* Afterwards, you will need to adjust the Pickup

sensitivity on the [GR]. If the signal level from
the Divided Pickup is too high, lower the Pickup
slightly.

4.

Place the supplied springs on the screws
between the bottom of the Pickup and the
guitar. Then tighten the screws:
