Caparison Pickups User's Manual
Please read the instructions carefully to ensure correct installation
If you are unfamiliar with replacing or fitting pickup installation then we recommend contacting an experienced guitar luthier/repairer for professional installation.
CAUTION: As a soldering iron is used to install the pickups, take care not to get burned or to apply too much pressure to the control pots, selector switch etc. as this may cause damage.
If you are direct mounting the pickup(s) to the body, please be sure to check the thickness of the body compared to the length of the screws. If the screws are too long, they may penetrate through the back of body.
Caparison pickups are supplied with screws suitable for attaching to a mounting ring or pickguard. When installing your pickups this way, please be sure to use the included screws.
