I'm going on one month Yesterday? Maybe, this is just standard? I know that these are hand done, but was curious what the usual wait time is?
-
Where do you live? Your location will have something to do with wait time, as well as how much you had your pups customized.
-
For BKPs? Aboout 3-4 weeks is the longest, ordered via UK dealer not direct.
Non-BKPs? Nearly 3 months, and still waiting....
-
About a month at the longest. Tim was waiting for the cover. Shipping was only 4 business days, and I'm in AZ!
-
I believe the great exchange rate has really put the pressure on at bkp and they are pulling extra shifts, working late and weekend to meet demand. Unlike some companies they wont let quality slip and there si a limit to whay they can do - if you want quality - handmade sometimes you have to wait but it is worth it. I have often waited over 3 months for handmade furniture.
-
Yeah, they are really overworked right now and are training new help to ease the load. I ordered one just before Christmas and it took like 2 months and now I have been waiting over a month for my Holy Diver. I am in the US as well. It sucks, but they are worth the wait. I would rather wait for the quality than have them start rushing out inferior pickups.

I'm currently waiting for Tim to phone me but I'm having quite a custom pickup done :lol: first ever angled BK, here I come :D
-
It took 10 days but today my Warpigs and Miracle Man sets came in and now my soldering iron is broken -.-

Angled how? I thought that had already been done for Nathan Sheppard guitars.
Or will yours be some kind of asymmetrical shape?

Thats what I told him - he doesnt want to know that ;)
About a working week. 4 days or so, I think.
-
That's what you told me but I don't want to know? I'm sorry if I've missed a post of yours but I have no a clue what this is referring to :lol:
Hmmmm, Tim said to me on the phone he's never done an angled pickup before :? That's definitely BKs in that picture? *slightly confused* I'm really not bothered if I'm first or whatever though, just can't wait to see them :lol: maybe it's the first angled 8 string pup :lol:
-
Yeah, they're definitely BKs. Knuckledusters.
The difference may be that they are 2 tele pickups with magnetic poles and seperate baseplates, whereas I'm guessing yours will be normal humbuckers with shared baseplate and magnet/s? That would be a first, to my knowledge, but its not the first angled BK.

Oh, it was in a thread in gear: I guess you just didnt see the reply. I forget which one. You were the OP in it though.

Ahhhh, evidently missed it :lol: cheers for linky though. Either way, can't wait to join the BK crew :)
-
Certainly can not!!
-
Though Tim is making me :lol: might give him a bell again.

It depends if there are any custom options. I am always really impressed with the delivery times especially to the States (usually a couple of weeks). The only times I've had to wait are when I have asked for something unusual and not in the BK range (like an overwound rewind of a Firebird pickup or a set of Thunderbird bass pickups!).
-
I'm at about 1 month exactly. I'm in Southern California and ordered them from a dist. in AZ. They are only a calibrated set of PainKillers...Hope all the hype is true, as I have never played and or heard them in person? Thanks guys...can't wait...
-
Woohoo! My latest set just arrived... :D
Yardbirds, nickel covered neck and wired for a four-way switch.
Ordered last week, Tuesday, it's Thursday now - just over a week.
The longest I've ever had to wait was a couple of weeks for a set of MQs... I've always ordered direct.
Anyway, off to take a telecaster apart now :D
-
never had to wait more than a week... which is why i am looking forward to next week as i have a few things coming i ordered on tuesday!!

For the black Custom, I presume? Can't argue with that choice!
