9. REMOVING THE PICKUPS
(Please read and understand the disclaimer at the end of this manual)
Removable/double-sided tape installation:
•
Very gently wiggle and pull on the pickup wire as close to the pickup as you can to loosen it.
•
Be very careful not to bend the pickups.
•
This removal procedure requires 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 golden plates of the pickups.
•
You can clean it by rubbing it off with your thumb. If you like to use a solvent, “Naphta” or
“Acetone” applied with a q-tip works best. Please check at your hardware store.
•
After the pickups are cleaned, inspect them for bends or damage.
•
Plug them into your amp and hold each of the 4 pickups about
½
” from the pickup-head on the
wire. Tap on the golden surface of each pickup with a finger. That tapping sound should be clearly
amplified without any missing taps.
•
All pickups should perform with the same sensitivity and loudness level.
•
Now the pickups are ready for re-installation.
Superglue installation:
This work has to be done by a professional. 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. If done
properly it should not damage your guitar.
