Fishman Matrix Infinity Installation

Both the manufacturer’s and our recommendation is to have a qualified guitar tech or luthier perform pickup and preamp installations. Nonetheless, we recognize there are lots of players out there who work on their guitars and are capable of performing this installation. If you are adept with a hand drill, can follow instructions, and carefully consider the mechanical factors that can affect performance, there’s no reason why you can’t successfully install this system on your guitar. Please note that Fishman’s instructions, while clear and concise, are tailored for installations on steel string guitars. You will have to do a bit of mental transposing and apply the principles outlined in their installation guide as they would pertain to a classical guitar.
