Fishman ABGP - Manual (Page 5)

IMPORTANT
Although the supplied battery holder should provide adequate capacity to grip the bat-
tery at all times, we strongly recommend removal of the battery when shipping or flying
with your instrument. FAILURE TO REMOVE BATTERY COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
YOUR INSTRUMENT. Fishman will not be held responsible for any such damage as a
result of shipping or handling.
7. MOUNT THE PREAMP
Slip the wooden spacer block (prepared earlier) over the control bushings
and mount the preamp. The outside hardware should include a smooth 3/8”
dress washer and a 3/8” hex nut. Tighten the hex nut.
8. PREPARE THE ENDBLOCK
The objective of this method is to drill a hole for the jack into the endblock,
with the endpin in place. You may remove a loose endpin and refasten it
with cyanoacrylate glue before starting this procedure.
1. Apply masking tape around the endblock area to protect the instrument.
2. Cut the endpin with an X-Acto
saw blade 1/16" away from the
body.
3. Centerpunch a guide hole in the
center of the trimmed endpin.
4. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole through
the endblock.
5. Line up the 15/32" Spade bit in
the pilot hole and begin drilling.
Maintain a perpendicular plunge
in relation to the instrument.
Use steady (but not heavy)
pressure, especially as the drill
exits inside the guitar.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to
the instrument, let the drill come
to a complete stop before remov-
ing it from the hole.
