Jig Installation for K&K Pure Pickups
Before you actually work with the pickup, you should practice using the jig without a pickup or putty. This ensures that
you are comfortable with the jig technique so that the pickups are positioned perfectly. It may be possible that your guitar has a
tighter bracing on the high e string side and the jig may have to be trimmed down a little bit.
1. Cut a piece of corrugated cardboard out of the sales-box your
pickup came in. It has a white and a brown side. Size: 1" x 1.25"
(2,5cm x 3,5cm). Mark center to center distance of 2 pinholes on
the white side.
2. Use a large nail (or similar pointed object) to punch two
holes about 3/8" (10mm) from the front edge of the jig.
3. Widen the holes with the wooden pin. 4. Stick the headless wood pin though the hole, as shown on
the photo (cardboard brown side down, make sure the pin is
straight). Use some superglue (supplied with the Pure
pickup) to glue the white pin into the cardboard, let dry for a
minute and wipe off excess glue.
5. The finished jig should look like this. 6. Place the jig on top of the bridge, insert the dull end of the
headless pin into the high e string pinhole and press the golf
tee into the b string hole. Remove it several times in order to
widen the hole in the jig a bit. The golf tee should slide into
the jig hole easily.
NOTE: Now practice step 11 - 16 without pickup or putty
to learn to handle the jig!
