Removal of Pickups

 

(please read and understand the disclaimer below)

:

Double-sided Tape Installation:

Please do not pull the pickups off by the wire!  

Use an 

old, dull

 razorblade to loosen the pickups. 

Please be very careful

 

when handling the razor 

blade

. If you don’t have a dull one, scrape the blade of a new one over some sandpaper. 

Carefully remove the duct tape over the pickup cables. 

Slide the dull razor blade 

under

 the pickup on the cable entry side. Make sure the blade gets 

in between 

the pickup and the wood. Avoid to accidentally cut the pickup apart. Be very careful not to bend the 
pickups. Keep the blade almost parallel to the guitar top.

This removal procedure requires some skill ! If you do not feel up to this task please contact a luthier or 
your music stores guitar-tech.

There will be some glue residue on the base plates of the pickups.
You can clean it by rubbing it off with your thumb. If you like to use a solvent, “Naphta” is working best. Please 
check at your hardware store. 
After the pickups are cleaned, plug them into your amp and tap on the golden surface of each pickup with a finger 
to make sure that all pickups work.
The tapping sound should be clearly amplified. All pickups should perform with the same sensitivity and loudness 
level.  Now the pickups are ready for re-installation.

Superglue Installation:

If the pickups were glued directly to the bridgeplate removal is not recommended.
However, experienced luthiers should be able to remove the pickups by using a razor blade.  Be aware that this 
will very likely damage the piezo transducers. 
It also is dangerous to work with a razor blade inside your guitar where you can’t see what you are doing.
