Installed my first GK-3

[Volitions Advocate]

I wish I had the money for a Ghost.
But this will do for now, I think i'ts ugly as hell but it's temporary.

Cudos to Roland for having the TOM mounting bracket. Made this easy and permanent, yet easy to remove without any modification to the guitar.

Hard to see but the whole divided pickup is floating under the TOM bridge. It's not touching the body of the guitar at all.

Foam Spacer since its a carved top.

Pretty Sturdy

Looks a good temporary solution.

How difficult was it to setup with the synth?

Does it mess with your palm mutes?

I haven't set it up yet because I don`t have a 13 pin cable. I didn't get one with the interface and I didn't get one with the pickup... so this weekend I`m heading to Calgary to get one because nobody in town has any that aren't bundled with other things.

And I don`t have a synth yet, Just the interface.

And the palm mutes work like it isn't even there.  I think I lucked out.

There are tons of stuff they give you to do any number of ways to install it.  I ended up putting both rubber strips under the Pup (on the plate that`s attached to the TOM poles) and then I put the 2 washers between the plate and the TOM itself, to raise it up just a tad more, and I could still lower the whole bridge down enough to get my action right, even with the screws that hold the pup to the plate just barely missing the top of the guitar.  That was the one design issue I had with the mounting plate. the screws that fasten the pup to it are too long, they stick out the bottom and if you lower your bridge far enough they`ll scratch the top.  But like I said, I think I lucked out.
