K&K Sound PURE RESONATOR BB Product Manual

P U R E R E S O N A T O R B B

The Pure Resonator BB is designed especially for biscuit bridge resonator guitars. It features a screw-mounted

pickup for maximum feedback resistance and best possible sound transmission.

The jack can be mounted externally or internally. The pickup comes pre-wired with an endpin jack including an

external mount fastening system called "dual-lock". The jack can also be mounted internally if you remove the

dual-lock. An optional internal flush mount nylon jack is supplied as well.

This manual is split up in two parts: pickup and jack installation. The pickup installation

procedure is the same for both external and internal jack-mount; only the orientation of the

cable is different.

PICKUP INSTALLATION

Remove the strings or loosen them and install a capo on the 10th fret.

Remove the string holder by unscrewing the strap knob.

Unscrew the small screws of the resonator cover and remove the cover.

Take out the resonator cone with the biscuit bridge.

Unscrew the biscuit bridge holding the screw on the back of the resonator and

remove the biscuit.

Mark a hole location for the pickup mounting hole (see photos, right).

Drill a 3/32 (2.1 mm) hole through the biscuit.

Do you have a question about the PURE RESONATOR BB and is the answer not in the manual?

Page 1 P U R E R E S O N A T O R B B The Pure Resonator BB is designed especially for biscuit bridge resonator guitars. It features a screw-mounted pickup for maximum feedback resistance and best possible sound transmission.
Page 2 Install the pickup with the screw as shown in the photos below. For internal jack installation (see photo, “jack mounting hole lower bout”) the cable should point towards the high string side. For external jack installation, the cable should point towards the string holder, perpendicular to the bridge (external jack mount - see photo next page).
Page 3 Secure the cable with the small black self-adhesive sticker as shown in the photo on the previous page (cable orientation for external jack mount). If your resonator cover has a fold down lip around the biscuit hole, file a potion off the lip to allow the pickup cable to pass without being pressed down onto the resonator cone (if the cable has contact with the cone it will result in mechanical noise).
