in great detail to help you install the Pure Classic for
best possible performance. Please also familiarize
yourself with the handling instructions of superglue
(if used) and the supplied double-sided tape and with
the disclaimer at the end of this manual.

3. REMOVABLE VS. PERMANENT INSTALLATION
The pickups can be installed either with a permanent
installation (super-gluing them directly to the wood
inside your guitar) or with a removable installation
(using the supplied double-sided adhesive tape). But
there is a difference in tone quality.
Our recommendation is to install Pure pickups with
super glue. It will put out about 30% more volume,
more bass and more punch. It is a big part of the
sound that made these pickups so successful! The
overall tone quality using the superglue installation
is probably best described as providing
authoritative tone with very fundamental bass
response. Even a single tone will sound warm, full
and woody.
On the other hand, an installation using the double-
sided adhesive tape provides a somewhat finer tone,
which may be desirable for some players. Plus it
makes the system removable. It sounds slightly
brighter with less authority and less bass response.
The output will still be sufficient and higher than
most competitors’ passive pickups. Volume and bass
can easily be boosted with one of our preamps, if
desired. The pickups are virtually noiseless; pre-
amplification usually does not introduce noticeable
noise.
If you opt for the removable installation, please
follow the handling instructions that are supplied
with the double- sided adhesive tape.
If you are new to the Pure pickups, we recommend
using the removable installation at first. You may
like it just fine this way. If you would like to get a
more authoritative, fundamental and louder tone
later on, you can carefully remove, clean and re-
install the pickups with superglue.
4. INSTALLATION PREPARATION
You are going to install the pickups according to the
pictures in this manual.
Place the guitar on a table. Use a blanket to
prevent damage to the instrument body.
Remove the strings.
Place the guitar so you can comfortably put your
hand into the sound hole and feel the inside
structures underneath the bridge with your
fingers.
Locate the bracing and check if your guitar has a
bridge reinforcement strip. Some do, some don’t.
It is a thin wood plate usually about 3/4" or less
(about 15-20mm) wide and about as long as the
bridge. It is located underneath the bridge. You
can feel it with your fingers.
Please follow the appropriate paragraph below
for the installation (with- or without bridge
reinforcement strip)
If superusing glue: Find out which hand you are
going to use for the installation and put on a latex
glove or one of the included finger cots.
Use some of the supplied double-sided adhesive
tape and stick a small piece to the tip of your index
or middle finger (whichever you use, see photo) and
stick the pickup to it. The golden side of the pickup is
facing up. This makes holding onto the pickup and
aiming a lot easier as you do not have to deal with
holding the cable.
IMPORTANT! The entire golden surface of the
pickups should be covered with glue! Spread a THIN
layer all over the golden side. Do not use just a drop
in the center, as this will not distribute evenly.
Please do not worry or hurry; the glue will not dry
immediately after it is applied to the pickup. You will
have sufficient time without rushing things. The
superglue gel even allows for a very short
repositioning time after the pickup is in contact with
the wood. Excess glue will ooze out at the edges and
eventually dry - thats fine. Hold and press the pickup
firmly in place for about 30 seconds at its final
location.
The four pickup heads are identical, they are all full
range transducers. It does not matter in which
position you install any of the pickups.

5. INSTALLATION ON A GUITAR A WITHOUT
BRIDGE REINFORCEMENT STRIP
Please inspect the bridge area inside the guitar
with a mirror and a flashlight to make sure that
there is enough room for all 4 pickups. Usually
there will be 5 fan braces with more than enough
room in between.
Drill two very small reference holes in each end
of the saddle-slot, outside the e strings (see
pictures above). Use the smallest drill bit you can
find I.E. 1/32 or 1mm.
Stick the drill bit (or pieces of an old low e-string
or a small nail) through the reference holes so
that they extend at least inside the guitar.½
Please practice the installation of each individual
pickup before you use glue or tape!
Use the protruding drill bit (string piece or nail)
as a side-stop for your outer pickups (see photo).
In other words, glue the pickup with its outer
edge close to touching the nail that extends
inside the guitar through the according reference
hole.
Once the 2 outer pickups are in place, remove
the drill bit (string piece or nail).
Install the 2 inner pickups evenly between the
outer pickup and the center brace. These ones
are not as critical in regards to exact positioning;
please do not worry if these end up a little bit out
of line.
6. INSTALLATION ON A GUITAR WITH A BRIDGE
REINFORCEMENT STRIP
Please inspect the bridge area inside the guitar
with a mirror and a flashlight to make sure that
there is enough room for all 4 pickups. Usually
there will be 5 fan braces with more than enough
room in between.
First, make sure that the front edge of the bridge
reinforcement strip is clear off glue that may
have oozed out during the guitar manufacturing
process! Clean this edge with a razor blade if
necessary.
Install the pickups in front of the bridge
reinforcement strip (towards soundhole) as
shown in the photo. This provides the best tone.
The reason is that the bridge reinforcement strip
is in most cases not directly under the saddle but
