Now that you have the bridge plate off, go ahead and put the pickup in. Watch out for the pickup, the magnets in it are strong.


For my pickup, I put the screws it came with into the bridge plate and slipped the rubber tubing isolator things over them. I then put the pickup in place, used a screwdriver to thread it into the holes in the pickup, and that's it.
Make sure you use the screws the pickup came with(if it came with screws).


Make sure you tighten the pickup screws evenly, just like when you took the stock one off. After investing in a new pickup, you don't want to mess up the threads.

Run the new pickup wires through the hole to the control panel.

Put the bridge back on with the screws you took off.
