User manual
Thank you for purchasing a Sadowsky® pickup! If you have no
experience with wiring or soldering or if you are unsure how to
proceed with the installation, we strongly recommend that the
pickup installation should be fullled by a specialist.
Installation / Mounting
1. Verify that the used electronics and parts are compatible with
your new pickups. When changing from active to passive pickups,
individual components must be replaced.
2. Remove the strings from your instrument, open the electronics
compartment.
3. Carefully remove the old pickups. If necessary, take notes about the
solder joints. If you remove the old pickups carefully and cleanly,
the new pickups are easier to install.
4. Use a thin-tip soldering iron and solder the wires from the
pickups into place. Mount the pickups.
5. Check the solder joints, isolate open cables, avoid short circuits.
6. Close the electronics compartment and re-string your instrument.

to the body are only fullled by trained professionals. To take
optimal care of your pickups and to prevent rust, do not clean the
pickups with water.
