~~Installation Information~~
No diagrams are included. Your loaded guard will come with three open wires. Red is hot and is soldered to the tip of your jack. If you select a jack, this will be pre-done for you so you’ll unsolder, feed the wires through your channel, and resolder. Jacks work with standard cables only and jack sockets accept standard ¼” plugs. Both blacks are grounds. One is soldered to the jack sleeve and the other is grounded to your trem/bridge. If your selections require alternate installation, additional instructions will be included in your shipment.
Take your time for installation; do not use power tools and do not over-tighten screws or other components. If you are unsure of your ability to successfully install this item, please do not purchase.
