2018 Djangobucker
Owner’s Manual
Thank you for buying a Djangobucker
Humbucking pickup for Gypsy Jazz guitar.
The new 2018 Djangobucker
significantly improves on my
critically-acclaimed design. My 2018
model features higher output (6K Ohms)
and improved string to string balance.
Additionally, individual string volumes
are now adjustable with a standard
slotted screwdriver, so you never need to
worry about forgetting or losing a
specialized wrench. Lastly, the 2018
Djangobucker is 30% smaller in size!
(Available in clip-mount, and
petít boúche  versions for
oval-hole gypsy guitars).

To install your Djangobucker  simply follow these steps:
Take two small lentil sized pieces of the
included putty, and apply to each side of the
pickup as Shown. Flatten the putty as much
as you can to avoid adding any unnecessary
height to the pickup. It only takes a tiny
amount of putty to securely adhere the
pickup to the guitar. →
Place your pickup on the guitar such that the
magnetic pole-pieces are aligned under each
string Gently, but firmly, press the pickup
down using a slight rocking motion until it is
securely affixed to the guitar. →
Balancing your New Pickup
Your Djangobucker should be well
balanced right out of the package.
However, bringing a pole closer to the
strings (i.e., loosening it) will increase  the
volume of that string; bringing the pole
farther  from the strings (i.e., tightening it)
will decrease  the volume of the string. For
best results adjust the other strings as
needed to match the volume of the “b”
string which is typically the loudest string.

Finally, simply plug the attached 1/4” cable in to your amplifier and you are ready to
play. Placing the pickup close to the fretboard results in a warmer sound, while a
placement closer to the bridge results in a brighter sound. Experiment to see which
placement you prefer.
