MORE THAN A
REPLACEMENT

Thank you for purchasing your MEC pickup. If you don‘t have
experience with wiring or soldering or if you are unsure how
to proceed with the installation, we strongly recommend that
you have the pickup installation performed by a specialist.
INSTALLATION / MOUNTING
1. Remove the strings from your instrument, open the
electronics compartment.
2. 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.
3. Verify that the used electronics and parts are compatible
with your new pickups. When changing from passive to
active pickups, individual components must be replaced.
4. Use a thin-tip soldering iron and solder the wires from the
pickups into place. Mount the pickups.
5. Connect the red wires from all pickups to the red wire
from the battery clip.
6. Check the solder joints, isolate open cables, avoid short
circuits.
7. Close the electronics compartment and re-string your
instrument.

MAINTENANCE
Some MEC pickups come with a metal cover. To take optimal
care of your pickups, prevent rust and to preserve the nish,
do not clean the pickups with water. Clean only with a soft, dry
cloth.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Since many manufacturers use dierent string spacings,
we recommend checking if MEC pickups oer the right
spacing for your instrument before mounting them.
Due to a variety of dierent routing congurations from
instrument to instrument, changes to the body may be
necessary to replace the pickup. We recommendthat any
modications to the body only be performed by trained
professionals.
