Home FAQs Installation

How do I install the pickup on an archtop, Les Paul, or carved-top guitar?

Installation is the same as on other guitars: place the pickup under the strings and secure it using nano-suction pads or magnets. On carved or arched tops (like Les Pauls and archtops), the curved surface can make it harder for the flat baseplate to sit securely.

For these cases we recommend using the included D-shaped neoprene pads. Apply them to either end of the baseplate, then place the nano-suction pads on top of the neoprene. This creates a stable, slightly raised surface that conforms to the arch of the guitar, giving a more reliable and secure attachment.
