8. When you’ve felt the position of the golf tee, guide the white pin up through the E string hole from the inside 
and secure the jig by moving the golf tee to the G string hole from the outside and finding the oblong hole in 
the jig. This will align the jig exactly as was done in step 5, outside the guitar. 
 

  

 

 
 
9. Once you confirmed that the procedure works as intended, you 
can apply glue the pickup and glue it in. 

Please ensure that the 

putty still holds the pickup firmly in place after the trial run.

 Use a 

fresh piece of putty if necessary.  

 

Use a good amount of glue and spread it over the metal surface of 
the pickup. You should use enough glue so to cover the entire 
surface of the pickup. It is best if some glue “oozes” out around the 
pickup as you install it.  
 

The most common source of sound issues and transmission 
problems with the Pure pickups is using too little glue for the 
pickup to bond properly to the bridge plate.

  

 

 

 

 
10. Once the pickup is in place, apply pressure to the jig/pickup while you slowly count to 30 to allow the glue 
to cure. Release the pressure, but 

leave the jig in place for another 5-10 minutes

 to allow the glue to settle 

before continuing. 
 

 

11. To remove the jig, carefully wiggle it left and right to loosen the bond of the putty from the pickup. The 
putty will most likely stick to the pickup. We recommend using a paper towel to wipe off the excess superglue 
around the pickup and then remove the putty from the pickup. If there is some small amount of putty residue 
left, it will not present a sound problem. 
 
If you get superglue on your fingers, the easiest way to remove it is to let it dry and then buff it off with some 
fine sandpaper or a nail file.
