Please do not worry; the glue we supply will not dry immediately after it is applied to the pickup. You will have 
sufficient time without rushing things.

The superglue gel allows for about 15 seconds repositioning time after the pickup is pressed to the bridgeplate 
surface. Excess glue will ooze out at the edges and eventually dry - that’s fine.
After the final position is reached hold and press the pickup firmly in place for at least another 30 seconds.

Whenever you're ready, apply a THIN layer of superglue on the metal surface of the first transducer. 

Now mount the transducer as practiced, glue it to the desired location into the guitar. Press it on and hold 
it in position for approx. 30 seconds.

Repeat the above 2 steps 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 without the superglue 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 right pickups according to 
picture below. This is important for (mechanical) noise free operation.

Drilling the Hole for the Endpin Jack:

Remove existing endpin if any.

If there is no endpin hole in your classic guitar (standard), mark an according point on your guitar. 

To get the cleanest possible result, start with a small (1/8”) drill bit and work your way up to a ½” hole in 5 
or 6 individual drill steps using a little bit bigger drill every time.

Use protective tape (duct tape or similar) to cover the drill hole. This helps protecting your finish.

Drill or widen the endpin hole to 1/2".

Installation of the Endpin Jack:

Unscrew the endpin jack's strap mount knob

Take off the washer.

Find out the thickness of your end-block and set the nut on the jack accordingly (see picture below).

Insert the jack from the inside. 

TIP

: A chopstick or something similar helps to grab the jack and to pull it through the hole.
