The center pickup should only be installed when the
two outer pickups are glued in place. These 2 pickups
need to be used as guides for the installation of the
center transducer. This means you should practice
with the center pickup only after the 2 outer pickups
are installed.
On occasion, with pinless bridges, we've used
double-sided tape for the center pickup and
superglued only the 2 outer ones. The center pickup
contributes only about 15% to the total sound. The
2 outer transducers do most of the work. The "peel-
and-stick" installation of the center pickup will have
only minor effect on the final sound and it would be
beneficial in case the center pickup is badly misplaced.
FINAL INSTALLATION
Apply superglue gel to the golden underside of the
first pickup. Spread a generous layer of the gel with
the tip of the tube so it will cover the entire surface.
Now install the first pickup to its corresponding
position at the high E string, as practiced. Press
it down and hold it in position for at least 30
seconds.
Repeat above steps and attach the second
transducer to the corresponding position between
the low E and A strings.
Check your work with a mirror and flashlight.
Attach the center transducer between the 2 outer
pickups, aiming for a position between the G and D
strings.
Check your work with a mirror and flashlight.
