UPDATE
The installation of the Anthem did not go as expected. I added 3M double side tape to everything. The mike and battery bag came loose. I decided to sand the mounting areas with a sanding block. Blew out the guitar and then wet wiped the areas. Wiped the areas dry and used new 3M tape to reinstall. Hopefully this will solve the problem. I also emailed Emerald as they offer this same pickup system. I’m waiting for a response.

Emerald X20 - Adding a Pickup
Quote:
Getting to the bridge is not that hard as the sound hole is bigger than it looks. The hardest part is installing the end plate pin. After drilling the end plate I use a metal coat hanger with the end bent over and covered with tape to setup and install the end plate pin. Its the same process I use on wood guitars.

UPDATE TO MY UPDATE
I did not get a response from Emerald but the sanding job did the trick. The new 3M tape is holding and all of my Anthem components are still firmly in place. Bottom line is that you need to sand anywhere you want to stick Pickup components to get good adherence.
