This assembly attaches directly to a Tune-o-matic style bridge And provides a quick release attchment for Roland GK 13 pin hardware.
This allows for guitars with P-90s, recessed Humbucker pickups or other more exotic pickup assemblies. Another advantage of this mount is that base clips can be attached to multiple guitars so the GK assembly can be moved from one guitar to another with minimal adjustments.
In order to install this mount the guitar strings need to be slackened or removed and the bridge height will need to be adjusted.
I anticipate that some users may be concerned that adding this plastic assembly to the bridge may change (darken) the natural sound of their guitar. I can not hear the difference and I am not sure that it would be perceptible or even measurable.
Up until now the GK Mount has been marketed exclusively on Shapeways.com. Shapeways has been restructured so I am now offering the model for people to print themselves.
I recommend printing with a resiliant material like PETG or ABS. The Tune-o-matic bracket can be printed face up, with supports under the tabs or face down if you get the bridging dialed in correctly for the bottom of the slot.
Please post any prints and reviews.
