Roland GK-2A pickup

[buitar]

Does anyone here have any experience attaching the GK-2A pickup to a guitar with tape? Does it damage the finish at all??

I've done it but it was on an Ibanez JEM with the silver pick guard. I took the GK-2 off and returned the guitar, and no one even knew it was there. I was only on for about 5 to 7 days though.

I don't know much about GK-2A pick-ups, but I know a bit

about tape - use various kinds in my sign shop.

3M makes a 1/32" x 1/2' doublesided tape (black) that

remains pliable for years and leaves no residue when

taken off. It's got VERY good bond strength as well so the

pickup won't fall off. Hope this helps.

Are you sure this wouldn't damage a guitar finish, or merely guessing? There are different kinds of guitar finishes.

There are no guarentee's - just as every form of cleanser

etc. always has the disclaimer ' test product on an

inconspicuouse area first...'

I have been using it on various paint and wood finishes

for years with no problem. Most tapes will either dry out,

leaving behind a dry, powdery residue that nothing seems

to remove -or- has an acidy glue formulation that etches

a gloss finish and discolors the paint. As I said, i've used

it on varnished and laquered woods and enamel and laquer

paint finshes without a problem - would I back up my claim

by buying you a new guitar if i'm wrong? Hell no.
