2. OVERVIEW AND CAUTIONS
The Vintage X-Bridge is a drop-in replacement for the Vintage Strat bridge with six pivot screw holes spaced .440" apart from each other (center
to center) and 2.2" from the first to the sixth hole (center to center). There are a few other bridges on the market that have the same look as the
vintage bridge but with narrower overall string and screw hole spacing, making them non-interchangeable. Please confirm that this bridge will fit
your guitar before beginning the installation.
The Passive Stereo kit provides for independent outputs for the magnetic and X-Bridge pickups via the "tip" and "ring" contacts of a stereo jack. A
volume pot for the passive X-Bridge takes the place of a middle tone control. The tone functions are summed onto the other tone pot. The wiring
is designed for a typical 3-knob Strat. These instructions are written for guitars already set up with a tremolo bridge. There is no physical
modification required to the guitar body or pick guard.
We do not provide installation advice or support for home or hobbyist installations. Installers: please read the instructions carefully before
proceeding. We will not be responsible for any damage to the guitar or personal injury resulting from installation, use or misuse of the product.
Do not lift the saddles up off the bridge plate to see how high they will go! This tempting investigation has a high probability of damaging
the pickup. There is ample pickup wire to allow the full range of saddle movement for height and intonation.
3. INSTALLATION
1. Remove your existing bridge and all of the pick guard screws. Install your new X-Bridge using the original pivot screws and springs from your
other bridge.
The Vintage X-Bridge comes with six pivot screws and three springs, but they are intended for new installations, not for replacing the original
springs or screws which are slightly different.
2. If you do not already have a claw in the spring cavity, install the one
provided now.
3. Feed the braided coax wire from the bridge into the electronics
cavity through the hole for the ground wire. Be sure to leave enough
loose wire in the spring cavity to allow full movement of the tremolo
arm. Cover the coax wire in the electronics cavity with the 10" insulator
sleeve provided. Use the cable tie (provided) to secure the insulator
sleeve. Do not insulate the portion of the coax wire within the spring
cavity.
4. Remove the wire that connects the middle tone pot to the switch and
solder a jumper between the two lugs on the switch for the tone
controls.
5. Solder an insulated ground wire from the spring claw to the volume
pot case (if there isn't one already).
6. Disconnect and remove the existing jack and middle tone pot from
the guitar, replace them with the ones included in the kit, and connect
as shown in figure 1.
7. Carefully tuck all of the wires into the cavity as you lay the pick guard
back on top of the guitar. With everything in place, fasten the pick
guard to the body.
8. Attach the three springs to the bridge and claw, restring the guitar
