This listing is for ONE (1) new CP100 unit with SHIM SET
(Other items shown are for reference only and are not included in this sale.)
This integrated system is designed exclusively for
Takamine G Series guitars with STRAIGHT Saddles.
Measurements of the CP100 are provided in the listing,
compare these measurements to the pickup currently
installed to determine its fit will be satisfactory.
How
to tell if your guitar can use this pickup: Verify
that your current preamp accepts a 2.5mm male plug in the INPUT jack.
Verify
the length of your guitars saddle slot.
The
CP100 is 3” in length
(A
folded dollar bill is about 3” in length)
Verify
the width of your guitars saddle slot.
The
CP100 is 3mm wide
(a
new American Quarter and Dime coin measure about 3mm when stacked
one
on top of the other – Could these two stacked coins slide into and
fit snugly inside the saddle slot? DO NOT Force.) SIDE
NOTE:
If you have a guitar with an Original Floyd Rose
Locking
Vibrato system you can use the 3mm Allen Wrench
you
use to tighten the locking nut with to check the saddle slot width.. Specifications: Saddle
/ Pickup element 3mm (3/32nd)wide 75.94mm
length (3”) 10mm
(13/32nds)
tall at highest point between D & G string 15"
cable lead 2.5mm
male connector 6 or 12 String guitars The
innovative Takamine
CP-100
pickup arrangement utilizes a U-shaped aluminum rail securing the
pickup and saddle securely together for a snug fit inside the
instruments saddle slot. This
configuration produces an articulate, well balanced string response
when using a plectrum or playing finger style. The pickup
arrangement captures vibration not only from the string pressure but
the energy produced from the soundboard resonance as well! The
CP100 will work with Nylon, Bronze and Nickel strings. The
CP100 was designed exclusively for Takamine “G” Series
Instruments.
The
integrated saddle is compensated so intonation is
maintained
up and down the fretboard.
The
CP-100 pickup is NOT a conventional under the saddle piezo pickup!
The CP100 Pickup Assembly is NOT meant for
BASS or Nylon string G Series Takamine Guitars.
BASS and NYLON string pickups are available in the
AddictedToToneInc eBay store if one is needed.
IMPORTANT:
If you desire to lower your string action by adjusting the height of the
saddle remove material from the TOP of the saddle not the BOTTOM.
If you modify the BOTTOM as you would a conventional saddle
it will destroy the seating integration of the saddle and its interaction
with the pickup element rendering it useless electronically.
If you have ruined your pickup in this manner please contact me
before you purchase this pickup, I may have a more economical solution for you!
