If your guitar has a height-adjustable bridge, simply lower the action by 1.3mm (height of pickups). If you
have a fixed bridge, you can either cut the sting notches on top of the bridge a little deeper or you can file
some material off the bridge feet.
If you file material off the bridge feet, make sure that you keep the angle of the bridge-foot-surface exactly
the way it was. You may use a vice and clamp the bridge-foot upside down between the jaws, so that the
exact height of the pickup is exposed. Then simply remove the material with a file.
The Pure Floating Bridge Pickup is equipped with a multi-use endpin jack. With the external mount, the
jack is installed with the double-sided self-adhesive “dual-lock” fastener, which is factory-mounted to the
jack (see photo). This adhesive will not harm glossy lacquered finishes. The glue residues can be
removed with WD40. With un-lacquered finishes, we recommend applying some masking tape to the
instrument first and then mounting the dual-lock to the masking tape. If possible, use the surface of the
tailpiece or tailpiece holder.
The dual-lock can be opened and closed without wear and tear and guarantees a strong hold without
mechanical noise. The jack can be temporarily removed, for example, to fit your instrument into a case.
If internal installation is desired please contact K&K or your luthier. Internal installation requires special
tools and soldering skills. The pickup wires could be routed to the inside of the instrument, e.g. through F
holes or through a small 3.5mm hole to be drilled under the center of the bridge. The dual-lock can be
removed and the jack can be mounted as an endpin jack.
