Precautions

Precautions !! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING !!

■ Handling and Transport

• Never apply excessive force to the controls,

connectors or other parts of the instrument.

• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping,

or placing heavy objects on the instrument can

result in scratches and more serious damage.

• Be careful not to damage the G1D controller

when placing the guitar in a case or on a stand.

■ Cleaning

• Clean the unit with a dry soft cloth.

• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove

stubborn grime and dirt.

• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.

■ Service and Modification

• The G1D contains no user serviceable parts.

Opening it or tampering with it in any way can

lead to irreparable damage and possibly

electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified

YAMAHA personnel.

■ Location

Do not expose the G1D to the following conditions

to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more

serious damage.

• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).

• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source,

outside, or in a car during the daytime).

• Excessive humidity.

• Excessive dust.

• Strong vibration.

■ Connections

• When connecting the G1D to the Yamaha G50

Guitar MIDI Converter, be sure to use the

specified multi-pin cable (supplied with the

G50 Guitar MIDI Converter).

• Always connect the direct guitar cable (page

12), even if you don’t intend to use the direct

guitar sound. The direct guitar cable is essential

for proper grounding, to minimize noise and

prevent electric shock.

• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug

firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

• Disconnect all cables before moving the

instrument or any connected equipment.

YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper installation, handling, or operation.

Nomenclature

1 Pickup

This is the actual “pickup” unit which converts

the physical motion of the guitar’s strings into an

electrical signal which can be processed by the

G1D and transmitted to the G50 Guitar MIDI

Converter.

■ CAUTION!

• Because of its slender dimensions the pickup

unit is quite delicate and can be damaged if sub-

jected to unnecessary force, bending, or twisting.

Handle the pickup carefully!

2 Multi-pin Cable Connector

This is the main output from the G1D. One end

of the multi-pin cable supplied with the G50 Guitar

MIDI Converter is plugged in here, and the other

end of the cable is plugged into the DIVIDED

INPUT connector on the G50. The multi-pin cable

connector delivers both the individual string output

from the G1D pickup and the combined output

from the guitar’s output jack to the G50 Guitar

MIDI Converter. It also supplies power from the

G50 to the G1D, and sends the control signals

produced by the G1D UP/DOWN buttons and

VOL control to the G50.

3 Direct Guitar Input Jack

This jack receives the combined output from

the guitar’s normal pickups from the guitar’s output

jack. The short cable supplied with the G1D is

used to connect the guitar’s output jack (large 1/4"

phone jack end of the cable) to the G1D direct

guitar input jack (small mini-jack end of the cable).

4 Power Indicator

The G1D is receiving power from the G50

Guitar MIDI Converter when this indicator is lit.

The indicator lights when the G1D is properly

connected to the G50 via the multi-pin cable, and

the G50 power is turned ON.

5 Volume Control

Controls the volume of the MIDI tone

generator(s) connected to the G50 Guitar MIDI

Converter (the G50 translates the position of this

control to MIDI master volume data which is sent

to the tone generator). Use the guitar’s original

volume controls to adjust the volume of the direct

guitar sound.

6 UP/DOWN Buttons

These button can be used to select different

synthesizer voices and select other functions while

playing the G1D. Press either button briefly to

increment or decrement the G50 Guitar MIDI

Converter memory number by one (and thereby the

voice number of the synthesizer or tone generator

it is driving), or hold either button for continuous

scrolling in the corresponding direction.

7 GUITAR/MIX/SYNTH Selector

Selects the type of output to be delivered via

the multi-pin cable connector to the G50 Guitar

MIDI Converter, as listed below:

GUITAR Only the direct guitar sound will be

heard (i.e. no synthesizer sound will be

produced).

MIX Both the direct guitar sound and

individual-string synthesizer output

will be heard.

SYNTH Only the individual-string synthesizer

output is sent to the G50 (no direct

guitar sound will be heard).

Installation

Guitar Compatibility

The G1D can be installed on most electric and

steel-string acoustic guitars, with the following

exceptions:

• Since the G1D employs a magnetic pickup, it

will not work with nylon or other non-metallic

strings.

• The G1D is designed for use with 6-string

guitars. It will not work properly with 12-string

guitars or other non-standard string configura-

tions.

• The G1D pickup should be installed between

the guitar’s bridge and bridge pickup. Installa-

tion may not be possible if there is not enough

room between the bridge and bridge pickup of

your guitar, or between the guitar top and

strings.

Installing the Controller

Unit

Install the controller unit before installing the

pickup, being careful not to damage the pickup

during the installation process.

A number of installation options are provided:

• Screw.

• Double-sided adhesive tape.

• Re-usable adhesive pads.

• Velcro fastener.

• Bracket.

• Suction cups.

Choose the method which best is best suited to

your guitar and playing requirements.

Installing the G1D on a guitar is not a

difficult process, but it does require care and at

least a modicum of mechanical ability. If you

don’t feel totally confident that you can handle

the job, it might be a good idea to leave the

installation to someone experienced in guitar

modification or repair.

IMPORTANT!

Make sure your guitar’s neck (truss rod) and

string height/intonation (bridge) are properly

adjusted before installing the G1D.

■ Installation Procedure

1. Determine the optimum

location for installation.

Normally, the controller should be attached

somewhere behind the guitar’s bridge, as shown in

the illustration. It should be accessible, but it

should not interfere with your playing or any of the

guitars controls or adjustments. Consider the

following points carefully when deciding on the

best location to install the controller:

• The controller and pickup cable should not get

in the way of your picking-hand at any time.

Make sure the location you choose will not

affect your playing style.

• The controller should not block or hamper

access to any of the guitar’s controls: tone,

volume, bridge adjustments (especially watch

out for intonation/saddle screws accessed from

the rear of the bridge).

• The controller must be well within reach of

both the pickup cable (when the pickup is in its

final installed position) and the direct guitar

cable

• Neither the controller unit itself nor any of the

connected cable plugs should extend beyond the

body of the guitar to prevent accidental damage.

3. Attach the controller.

(screw/adhesive tape)

Remove the protective backing from one side

of the adhesive tape patches and attach them to the

bottom of the controller as shown in the illustra-

tion.

■ NOTES

• You can use the standard adhesive tape or the re-

usable adhesive pads on just about any type of guitar.

See “The Re-usable Adhesive Pads” below, for details.

• The adhesive tape/pads may react chemically with the

finish on some guitars, causing discoloration or

otherwise marring the finish. It might be a good idea

to try attaching a small piece of tape/pad at some

location that is not obvious for a few days before

actual installation.

• If your guitar has an arched top or is shaped in such

a way that the controller won’t sit properly with only

the standard adhesive tape, use as many of the

spacers as required in the appropriate location(s) to

position the controller as required. The spacers are

adhesive on both sides, with protective backing like

the standard adhesive tape.

Next, carefully clean the area on the guitar body

to which the controller is to be attached to eliminate

dust, dirt, and particularly any oil or grease which

might prevent the adhesive from sticking. Then

remove the protective backing from the exposed side

of the adhesive tape, and carefully attach the control-

ler to the guitar making sure that the screw hole in

the controller is perfectly aligned with the screw hole

in the body of your guitar (if you drilled one). Press

firmly — but don’t use excessive force — to ensure

that the tape sticks securely.

Finally, screw the supplied self-tapping round-

head screw (3 x 16 mm) into the pre-drilled hole in

the guitar body through the hole in the controller.

Screw only “finger tight” — if you attempt to

screw the screw in too far or too tight you might

damage the controller and or your guitar!

2. Mark and drill the controller

screw hole

(see “NOTES” below).

■ CAUTION!

• Make sure the multi-pin cable and direct guitar's

cable are disconnected from the controller before

installation.

While holding the controller unit in exactly the

position it is to be installed, use a fine pen or scribe

to mark the center of the screw hole (located in the

multi-pin cable recess of the controller) on the

body of your guitar.

Then set the controller unit aside and carefully

drill a 2-millimeter (1/16" inch, approx.) hole at the

marked location.

Installation

■ NOTES

• For acoustic or semi-acoustic guitars, or simply if the

idea of drilling a hole in your guitar makes you

shudder, the controller can be attached using only

the adhesive tape, the Velcro faster, or any of the

other installation options described below. Please

note, however, that screw installation is the most

secure method, and is recommended wherever

possible.

• The Velcro fastener is provided for players who will

be frequently removing and reattaching the G1D.

DO NOT use the adhesive pads if you use the Velcro

fastener.

Bottom side

The Re-usable Adhesive Pads

The re-usable adhesive pads can be used in the

same way as the standard double-sided adhesive

tape for controller unit installation. They can be re-

used many times, and if their adhesive qualities

deteriorate due to accumulated dust and dirt, they

can be restored to virtually like-new conditions by

washing carefully with a neutral detergent. If you

do repeatedly attach and remove the re-usable

adhesive pads, it is a good idea to replace the

original protective backing when the pads are not

in use to keep them in top condition.

Bracket Installation

This installation option has the advantages that

no holes need to be drilled in the guitar.

To use the bracket, first unscrew the two screws

marked with arrows on the bottom of the controller

unit, then use the same screws to attach the

controller unit to the bracket as shown in the

illustration.

Next, attach the spacers (double-sided adhesive)

to the bracket to protect the guitar surface from the

screw heads, and attach the bracket to the guitar in

the appropriate position, as shown in the illustra-

tion.

An alternative method is to attach the bracket

using the guitar’s strap pin (the spacers should still

be used to prevent the controller/bracket assembly

from scratching the surface of the guitar). Loosen

the strap pin on the guitar body by unscrewing its

attachment screw by a few turns, slide the slot in

the bracket under the pin as shown in the illustra-

tion, then tighten the pin screw until the bracket is

held firmly in position.

■ CAUTION!

• Repeated loosening and tightening of the strap pin,

or application of excessive force to the bracket, can

cause the strap pin screw to become loose.

Suction Cup Installation

The supplied suction cups are a handy and

fairly secure way to attach the controller unit to

guitars with a flat top and a smooth, shiny finish.

To use the suction cups, first insert the bases of

the three suction cups into the large openings in

the three holes on the bottom of the controller unit,

then slide the bases of the cups toward the narrow

section of the holes until they are held securely.

Then, after making sure the surface of your guitar

is free from dirt and grease, simply press the

controller unit onto the guitar top at the appropriate

location.

The suction cups can be removed by slightly

lifting the edge of each cup.

Installing the Pickup

Once you’ve installed the controller, the pickup

can be installed using either double-sided tape

or screws. Although the tape is convenient, screw-

installation is recommended because it provides

greater security and allows pickup height adjust-

ment for optimum performance.

■ Hardware

The following parts, supplied with the G1D, are

required or optional for installation of the pickup.

Please make sure you have all the parts.

■ Installation Procedure — Tape

1. Mark the optimum position for

installation.

The pickup should be located between the

bridge pickup and bridge, ideally 20-mm from the

bridge. If the ideal 20-mm placement is not

possible, the pickup should be located as far as

possible, but no more than 20 millimeters away

from the bridge. The cable end of the pickup

should be oriented toward the sixth string (low E).

One pair of the pickup’s magnetic yokes should be

under each string. String spacing varies somewhat

on different guitars, and the pickup will function

properly as long as each string passes over part of

the corresponding yokes (not necessarily the exact

center). Check that the strings pass over the yokes,

even when bending the strings.

■ NOTES

• Make sure the pickup does not interfere with the

operation of a tremolo arm or other guitar controls.

• If the bridge side pickup of your guitar is a hum-

bucking type, attach the divided pickup to the bridge

side pickup. (See above illustration.)

Once the pickup has been positioned correctly,

carefully mark the position on the guitar body.

Small pieces of marking tape can be used if you

don’t want to mark directly on the guitar body.

No more than

20 millimeters

(3/4")

2. Set the pickup height.

First make sure the truss rod and string height

are adjusted properly, then tune the strings to their

normal pitch. Adjust the height of the pickup —

using the appropriate spacer or combination of

spacers (see “NOTES” below) — so that the dis-

tance between the top of the pickup and the bottom

of each string is about 1 millimeter (0.04") when

each string is fretted at the highest note on the neck.

The pickup height can be checked by using the

supplied clearance gauge.

The distance between the pickup and the bottom

of the strings can be set less than 1 mm as long as

the strings do not touch the pickup when fretted at

the highest note on the neck.

3. Attach the pickup.

Remove the strings from the guitar. Apply the

double-sided tape to the bottom of the pickup and

remove the backing. Remove the backing from the

required pickup cushion/spacers and carefully

attach them to the bottom of the pickup. Finally,

carefully attach the pickup/spacer assembly to the

guitar at the marked position, then re-string and

tune the guitar.

4. Check the height.

Check the pickup height again, and play the

guitar in all ranges to ensure that the strings do not

come in contact with the pickup. If all is well, then

the installation is complete.

Please note that the cushion/spacer backing adds

about 0.1 millimeter (0.004") to their thickness, so

take this added thickness into account when using a

number of spacers.

• To compensate for differences in height between the

first and sixth strings (e.g. if your guitar has an arched

top), use an appropriate number of one-quarter or

one-third width spacers under the lower end of the

pickup (the spacers can be cut easily with a good pair

of scissors).

Installation

If you need to readjust the pickup height …

If the pickup height needs to be re-adjusted,

remove the strings and carefully pry the pickup

from the guitar by sliding a thin, flat object (e.g. a

small knife blade) under the sixth-string end of the

pickup — between the pickup and top spacer —

and gently lifting the pickup away from the spacer.

Readjust the height as required by adding or

removing spacers:

• To add a new spacer in order to raise the

pickup, remove any used double-sided tape

from the existing spacer, then attach the new

spacer to the top of the existing spacer after

removing its backing.

• When removing a spacer to lower the pickup,

be sure to remove both the spacer and its

backing tape.

Finally, attach fresh double-sided tape to the

bottom of the pickup, remove the backing, care-

fully attach the pickup to the uppermost spacer,

then re-string and tune the guitar.

■

Installation Procedure — Screw

Screw installation has several advantages over

tape installation: screw installation is more secure,

the height of the pickup can be more precisely

adjusted., and pickup height can be easily re-

adjusted as required without having to remove and

reattach double-sided tape.

■ NOTES

• Screw installation requires at least a 13 millimeter

(1/2”) space between the guitar top and strings.

• Adjust the pickup height using spacers (no springs) if

the distance between guitar top and strings is less

than 13 mm.

1. Mark the optimum position for

installation.

The pickup should be located between the

bridge pickup and bridge (see “NOTES” below).

The cable end of the pickup should be oriented

toward the sixth string (low E). One pair of the

pickup’s magnetic yokes should be under each

string. String spacing varies somewhat on different

guitars, and the pickup will function properly as

long as each string passes over part of the corre-

sponding yokes (not necessarily the exact center).

The double-sided tape can then be “rolled” off

the bottom of the pickup as shown in the illustra-

tion.

Installation

■ NOTES

• The pickup should be located as far as possible but

no more than 20 millimeters (3/4") from the bridge.

• Make sure the pickup does not interfere with the

operation of a tremolo arm or other guitar controls.

Once the pickup has been positioned correctly,

carefully mark the centers of the two screw holes

at either end of the pickup on the guitar body using

a fine pen or scribe.

2. Drill the screw holes.

Remove the strings from the guitar and very

carefully drill 2-millimeter (0.08", approx.) holes

at the marked locations. The holes may have to be

slightly larger in diameter if your guitar’s body is

made from a very hard wood such as maple,

cherry, or rosewood.

3. Attach the pickup.

Insert the two self-tapping round-head screws

(3x25mm) through the screw holes in the pickup,

and place the springs over the screw shafts extend-

ing below the pickup. Screw the screws in the

corresponding holes in the guitar top.

■ CAUTION!

• Be careful not to damage the pickup cable when

installing the pickup.

4. Re-string and adjust the pickup

height.

Re-string and tune the guitar, then carefully

adjust the pickup height by loosening or tightening

the pickup screws. The distance between the top of

the pickup and the bottom of each string should be

about 1 millimeter (0.04") when each string is

fretted at the highest note on the neck. The pickup

height can be checked by using the supplied

clearance gauge.

Setup

Once installation is complete, you’re ready

to connect and check out your MIDI guitar

system (assuming you also have a G50 Guitar

MIDI Converter and appropriate tone-genera-

tor/sound hardware).

1. Connect the direct guitar cable.

Connect the 1/4" mono phone plug end of the

direct guitar cable (supplied with the G1D) to the

guitar’s output jack, and the mono mini-plug end

of the cable to the G1D direct guitar input jack.

2. Connect the G1D to the G50.

After making sure that the G50 Guitar MIDI

Converter power is OFF, plug one end of the multi-

pin cable supplied with the G50 into the G1D

multi-pin connector, and the other end into the

DIVIDED INPUT connector on the G50. The

release button on the multi-pin plug should face

outward.

■ NOTES

• Always connect the direct guitar cable, even if you

don’t intend to use the direct guitar sound. The

direct guitar cable is essential for proper grounding,

to minimize noise and prevent electric shock.

■ NOTES

• For extra security and damage prevention it is a good

idea to pass the cable between the strap and guitar

body near the body strap pin.
