Break Angle For the pickup to perform optimally, there should be a 20° (minimum) string break angle across the back of the saddle. [. . . ] Remove only enough material from the width of the saddle to provide a sliding fit in the slot. To test the fit, the saddle should slide easily in the slot, but should not fall out when overturned. To maintain your current action, the new saddle must be . 048" (1. 22 mm) shorter in height than your current saddle.

Prepare the Saddle Slot A large percentage of string balance problems with undersaddle pickups can be traced to an unevenly cut or warped saddle slot. Irregularities on the bottom or sides of the slot can often prevent the saddle from uniformly pressurizing the pickup. Prepare the Endpin Jack Hole There are two ways to widen the endpin hole to accept the PowerjackTM. Remove the endpin and widen the hole to size with a 15/32" (11. 9 mm) reamer (available in the US & Canada through Stewart MacDonald, 800-848-2273 part #4323). OR Quick & Clean The objective here is to quickly drill out the endpin jack hole, with the endpin or other suitable plug in place. You may remove a loose endpin and refasten it in the endblock with cyanoacrylate glue before starting the procedure.

Deepen an existing slot only enough to obtain a clean, flat surface. Note: We do not recommend this method for instruments with brittle ornamental veneers (ex: abalone) around the endblock 1. Apply masking tape around the endblock area to protect the instrument. Locate an X-Acto® saw blade 1/16" (1. 6mm) away from the body and saw off the endpin. [. . . ] Although the supplied battery holder should provide adequate capacity to grip the battery at all times, we strongly recommend that you remove the battery when shipping your instrument.
