It is installable on general guitars (Stratocaster type, Telecaster type, Les Paul type, SG type, electric acoustic guitars, and the like).
Note, however, that in the case of guitars that have special output specifications, sound might not be produced, or installation might be physically impossible.
Symptoms and their causes for respective different specifications, along with remedies, are highlighted below.
Some guitars equipped with active pickups
Symptom: No sound is produced. Guitar audio includes a thumping sound.
Cause: In the active circuits that guitars have, generally, TRS jack output is wired so that the tip is audio, the sleeve is the ground, and the ring is for the battery ground, but in some cases, there are guitars on which the ring and sleeve wiring is reversed (shown below).
Remedy: Try making the connection shown in remedy A or remedy B.
Symptom: The WL-T cannot be physically installed on the guitar.
Cause: Installation is impossible if the area at the mounting jack lacks enough space for attaching the transmitter (a cylindrical space measuring 18.5 mm in diameter and 5 mm deep).
Remedy: Try making the connection shown in remedy B.
YAMAHA Silent Guitar
Symptom: No sound is produced. The guitar is not powered.
Cause: The electrical wiring has special specifications, and so the no operation is possible without below remedy.
Remedy: Try making the connection shown in remedy A or remedy B in the figures above.
Instruments whose OUTPUT jack is stereo 1/4-inch phone type (TRS 1/4-inch phone type)
Symptom: Only the L-side signal is output.
Cause: The WL-T has monaural specifications, and so only the L-side (tip-side) signal is output.
Remedy: Because of the specifications, no remedy is available.
If remedies A and B do not correct the problem, try repeating the procedure below.
- Remove the batteries or disconnect the power adapter from the guitar.
- Attach the jack adapter plug to the transmitter and connect it to the guitar.
