14 day pickup return time - too short for some?

[Twinfan]

You might find the odd one or two that allow returns, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Dimarzio does.

Only in the US?  I don't think any of the UK suppliers of DiMarzio or SD accept exchanges?

Not to talk the professional techs and luthiers out of work here, but I've always thought it's worth knowing how to do this stuff yourself. It's not rocket science and will save you money plus make you much more intimate with your guitars.

But if you don't know one end of a screwdriver from the other, getting it done by a pro may be your only choice. ;)

Yeah i agree, but last time I tried to setup my PRS SE with the tremolo system i completely messed it up as its quite tricky to get it just right IMO, so a tech took care of that. Also this other guitar hes looking at and installing pickups in needs fret levelling, which I am not comfortable doing. And regarding pickup installation I would like to learn but again just worried of messing it up and making the warranty void.

I'm very happy with a soldering iron, but must admit when it comes to setting up a guitar, I really have no idea.
Hit strings, make noise. That's about my limit :D

+10 on this. And  if you don't know one end of a screwdriver from the other, it's time to learn. Not talking about doing fret job on your $10000000 #1 vintage axe of course, but pups / wiring stuff and basic setup (neck / action / intonation) is something every guitar player should be able to do, even if a bit crudely.

Seymour Duncan does a 21 day return if you dont like em

actually think its a pretty standard policy for pick up companies

Why not just get the tech to do a pickup swap instead of a setup as well?

Because it needed a setup aswell :-) -he told me that the timescale wouldve been the same either way as he was just busy with other jobs

10 days for a pickup change? That's bananas, if he's that busy he needs to take on staff.

Again, if you're in the US and buy direct?

BKPs is worldwide I think?

And basically a 14 day return policy seems massively fair enough to me. Quite apart from the quality of the product Tim shows exemplary dedication to the art and a truly genuine desire to please the customer. If you can't receive install and evaluate a pickup in that time frame then it's your problem not his.
