Congratulations on your purchase of a fine, hand-built, Seymour Duncan electric guitar pickup.
Installing this pickup isn’t complicated. If you’re handy with tools, it will be a simple and fun project. But
if you have no experience handling red-hot soldering irons, we recommend having a qualified guitar
tech install your pickup.
