Saving the pickups for re-installation
Be careful not to bend the pickups. Visually inspect
the pickups for bend marks or other irregularities. If
they look damaged, they may still work but we
recommend replacing bent or nicked pickups. Use
the scraper blade to scratch off any remaining glue
residue from the golden side of the transducers.
Make sure not to bend the pickups while you are
doing this. Some fine scratches in the metal will not
hurt the performance.
To test the pickups, plug the pickups into an amp. (If
you have a Trinity System you can still plug a mono
cable into the endpin and you will get the pickups
only.) Hold one pickup at a time about 3/4" (2cm)
from the pickup head on the cable and tap the
pickup with your finger. Do this tapping in both
directions, so that you tap the black side and the
golden side. You can do this quite hard. The tapping
sound has to be amplified and all pickups should
produce about the same volume. There should not
be any missing taps. There should not be any loud
"crackles." If the pickups test out fine, you can
reinstall them.
Make sure that all glue residue is cleaned off the
wood of the bridge plate or guitar top. Smooth the
wood surface until it is perfectly straight and clean.
