REMOVING PICKUPS
If you need to remove this pickup after installation, please
do not use any kind of chemical or solvent on the
pickup!
This includes products like acetone, Goo-Gone, super glue remover, rubbing alcohol, WD-40, or similar.
Using any kind of solvent will de-laminate and destroy the pickup.
We recommend the following procedure for removing the pickup(s):
Slide a razor blade or slim knife under the pickup and carefully lift it off.
Rub off any remaining adhesive on the pickup with your thumb, or with fine sandpaper.
