Installing instructions:
Step 1:
Remove the pick guard. It is not necessary to remove the pickup if the bottom is perfectly flat. You may find that is also possible to leave all solder joints connected.

Step 2:
Add a strip of masking tape to the bottom of the pickup. (From E magnet to E magnet). Using the height adjustment screws as a guide, place baseplate on the bottom of the pickup with the solder joint facing up and the grounding tab towards the eyelets in the pickup.

Step 3: Use some glue or wax to fill in the gap between the pickup and the basplate. The baseplate will draw flush with the bottom of the pickup. There will be some smoke if you use an soldering iron to heat the wax.

Step 4: Solder grounding tab to ground side pickup. (The black wire).
