The Element Active System combines Element undersaddle pickup with a pre-contoured, all-discrete class A endpin preamp. A soundhole-

mounted volume control gives you additional control and versatility without having to drill any holes in your instrument. The Element Active is

designed to interface with just about anything you plug into, but best results will be achieved with a high-quality, full-range P.A. Plugging in and

unplugging the cord will turn the preamp on and off.

We recommend that this system be installed by a professional dealer/installer. We do not provide installation advice or support for home or

hobbyist installations. Installers: please read the instructions carefully before proceeding. We will not be responsible for any damage to the guitar

or personal injury resulting from installa-tion, improper installation, use or misuse of the product.

Drilling the strapjack hole: For proper installation, this jack requires a clean

1/2" hole in the tail block of the instrument. If the guitar lacks this hole, start

by placing a piece of masking tape on the outside of the instrument over the

drilling area (to avoid chipping the finish), drill a small pilot hole in the tail

block and then follow with a step drill.

Installing the strapjack: Remove the strap ring, retaining nut and one

washer from the end of the jack. There should still be one star locking washer,

one flat washer and a nut remaining on the jack. Bring the jack down through

the soundhole into the body and insert it into the pre-drilled hole in the tail

block. Using the internal nut (be sure to include the flat and star washers), set

the proper depth that will allow the entire smaller threaded section to

protrude from the instrument (see figure 1).

With the jack in place, lay the remaining washer over the threads and attach

the external retaining nut until it’s tight. Finish by attaching the strap ring (it

should cover the retaining nut and washer). Asserting too much pressure may

crack the finish. Now bring the preamp into the guitar (do not adhere it yet), connect a battery, and plug the strapjack cable into the "output"

socket. Then proceed to following section.

Installation notes: For optimum performance of the Element, the bridge slot must have a clean, flat surface free of any debris or over-spray from

the finish. The slot must be a minimum of .125” (1/8”) deep, but we suggest a depth of at least .187" (3/16”) to avoid excessive saddle tilt.

The commonly-known 50/50 rule applies: The amount of saddle visible above the bridge surface (with pickup installed) should be no greater than

the amount of saddle in the slot beneath the bridge surface; otherwise the balance and output of the pickup may suffer.

the saddle (see figure 2). To drill this hole without disrupting the floor of the saddle slot, place a small jeweler's screwdriver under the tip of the

drill bit. On short saddles we also advise that the pickup exit hole be drilled into the end wall of the saddle slot rather than the slot's floor (see
