Strum Fix Plus Installation - START HERE
While not difficult, it will probably take you about a half-hour to install a Strum Fix Plus the first time. The basic procedure is the same for most guitars, but some guitars have slightly different wiring or mechanical layouts, so check if there are instructions for your specific guitar, otherwise you can just use the standard instructions.
Strum Fix Plus Installation Instructions - see this page for the “classic” installation instructions (text and image only).
Strum Fix Plus 5 Installation Note - (this is a work in progress, check back soon). The SFP5 includes spacers that go between the PCB board and the mounting holes on the guitar. These are not needed on most guitars, but if the top of the “wings” on the strum bars hit the bottom of the guitar faceplate when strumming, then mount these spacers underneath the SFP5 PCB so the strum bar doesn’t hit the faceplate.
SFP5 installed in a Rock Band 1 Strat, with the PCB spacers installed underneath the PCB, between the PCB and mounting studs. Without these spacers the strum bar can hit the bottom of the strummer opening, preventing the switches from getting fully pressed.
Not all guitars need these spacers — most have enough clearance.
