RSBS Kit - Black

The flush mount insert can be installed in all guitars including acoustic guitars that have the head and tail blocks. Certain locations will require shorter wood screws that can be found at your local hardware store.

 

STEP 1:

When drilling the initial hole with the 11mm bit, be sure to only drill a length of the insert body which is approx. 12mm. DO NOT include the outer top lip or the diamonds at the base when measuring the body for accuracy.

 

STEP 2:

After drilling the 11mm hole, drill the center hole in the base using the 1mm drill bit. You should only drill the length of the wood screw that you will be using. As mentioned above, some locations will require shorter screws.

 

STEP 3:

Place the insert into the hole, cover the top with a cloth and lightly tap the insert down with the rubber mallet. By doing this the diamonds in the base will be pushed into the wood which will prevent the insert front moving side to side.

 

STEP 4:

Add the wood screw, this will prevent it from coming out. Always helps to use some wood glue as well.

 

If you're not sure how to install, ask your local guitar shop or luthier for modification assistance.
