Procedure 2:
•
Here you have to drill two 1/16” reference holes in each end of the saddle-slot a little bit past the e strings
(see diagram). If the guitar already has a hole in the saddle-slot for an undersaddle pickup you can use
this hole.
•
Please inspect the bridge area inside the guitar with a mirror and a flashlight to make sure that there is
enough room for all 4 pickups and also check on the outside over the saddle that 2 pickups will fit
between center brace and reference hole.

REFRERENCE
HOLES
•
Stick 2 pieces of an old low e-string or two small nails through the reference holes so that they extend
about ½” or so inside the guitar.
•
Use them as a side-stop for your 2 outer pickups (see diagram). In other words, glue the pickups with
their outer edges touching the string pieces or nails that extend inside the guitar through the reference
holes.
•
Remove the string pieces or nails and install the 2 inner pickups right next each outer pickup and against
the center brace (see diagram).
•
This method is slightly more invasive than the “procedure 1” but it makes easier and more reliable to find
the correct spots.
Installation Preparation, continued:
The Pure Classic’s 4 pickups are identical. It does not matter in which position you install any of the pickups.
•
Clean the bridgeplate or the bridge area inside the guitar. We recommend you either use fine sandpaper
or scrape the surface with a razor blade to smooth it. Then clean it with acetone.
•
If you use superglue, find out which hand you are going to use for the installation and put on a latex glove.
•
If you have some double-sided adhesive carpet tape on hand, stick a small piece to the tip of your index
or middle finger (whichever you use, see photo) and stick the pickup to it. The golden side of the pickup is
facing up. This makes holding on to the pickup and positioning it a lot easier.
