Thank you for choosing the K&K Pure Resonator! It is designed to reproduce the resonator guitar sound in the
very best possible quality with maximum possible feedback resistance.
1.
The pickup is supposed to be installed inside the resonator cone on the center screw. The diagram on the
right shows the spider bridge/cone assembly upside down.
2.
The outer edge of the pickup must be in contact with the cone. On some instruments there is a spacer nut
on the center screw, which may be too high for the pickup’s outer edge to contact the cone. In this case you
have to shave down the spacer nut i.e. with a Dremel tool.
3.
Remove the strings or loosen them and install a capo on the 10th fret.
4.
Remove the string holder by unscrewing the strap knob.
5.
Unscrew the small screws of the resonator cover and remove the resonator cover.
6.
Remove the resonator cone with the spider bridge.
7.
A 7/16“ (11mm) hole needs to be drilled for the jack; we recommend a location in the lower bout like shown
it the photo below.
8.
Find out if your instrument has a 3mm or 1/8“ center screw by testing which of the supplied little nuts fits.
