Make sure to perform all practice tests thoroughly.

You are going to follow these identical procedures with superglue or tape for final installation!

In case you are going to use the superglue installation, make sure not to get superglue on your fingers or 
on your guitar! Please read and follow the safety instruction for the superglue!

It is a good idea to cover the entire guitar top with cloth or paper, just leaving an opening for the sound- 
hole.  Practice until you feel confident to do it right the first time.

If procedure 2 was used:

 

Start with the low e string outer pickup and set it right next to the inserted guide piece as shown in the 
according diagram above.

The outer edge of the pickup should touch the guide piece.

Press the transducer against the desired location with your finger to practice the glue attachment (do not 
use glue yet!).

Now try out the installation of the second outer pickup on the high e string side. Place one transducer 
inside the guitar and again, position it right next to the inserted guide piece as shown in the according 
diagrams 

This practice run will make sure you will actually find the correct locations for the 2 outer transducers. The 
inner 2 pickups have to be attached right beside the two outer pickups and against the center brace. Here 
you cannot perform a realistic practice before you actually installed the 2 outer pickups. 

Please perform a practice run for these pickups as soon as you mounted the 2 outer pickups.

Make sure to perform all practice tests thoroughly.

You are going to follow these identical procedures with superglue or tape for final installation! 

In case you are going to use the superglue installation, make sure not to get superglue on your fingers or

hole.  Practice until you feel confident to do it right the first time.

Installation of the Transducers with Double-sided Tape:

Apply the tape as described in the supplied tape handling instructions.

Whenever you're ready mount the first transducer as practiced, stick it to the desired location into the 
guitar. Press it on firmly.

Repeat the above step with the next transducer and attach it to the corresponding position at the as 
practiced. 

Now its time to practice the installation of the 2 remaining pickups as mentioned above. 

Whenever you're ready go ahead and install them as well.

Use 2 fitting strips of duct tape (fabric tape) to secure the wires of the 2 left and the 2 right pickups 
according to picture below. This is important for (mechanical) noise free operation.

Installation of the Transducers with Superglue: 

Note: 

The entire golden surface of the pickups should be covered with glue! Spread a THIN layer over the golden 

side. Do not use just a drop in the center, as this will not distribute evenly.
