Thank you for buying the Pure Classic Transducer

System for your guitar! The Pure Classic is a four-

head piezo-ceramic transducer with endpin jack.

Please read through the complete instructions

before beginning installation. This manual is written

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.

1. TOOLS & SUPPLIES NEEDED

• Superglue gel (any brand of Cyanacrylate glue

will do as long as it is gel)

• Electric drill (for drilling endpin jack hole and

pickup reference hole)

• Proper drill bits for endpin jack mount and a very

small bit for the reference holes

• Pliers or wrench for endpin jack installation

• 4 latex gloves (if superglue is used, alternatively

use the supplied finger cots)

• Razorblade

2. PACKAGE CONTENTS

• Pure Class head transducer with cable ic 4-

harness and endpin jack

• Double-sided tape for removable installation

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 - that’s 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
