Question about custom etching

[amin]

Hey fellers
I Ordered a calibrated set of JuggerNOT, Tyger Gold, Gold Bolts, Bulb etch, on Axepalace.com, in 9/2/2014
How long does it take to complete my pickups & custom etch by BNK ?
I think I should wait for 3 weeks,
Am I right ?
Any body had an ordered like me on Axepalace.com ?]

Kind Regards;

Yeah, I think the time on the BK side is around 3 weeks or so. The etch takes a good bit longer than their normal delivery.

If however you experience delays beyond that, withing a resonable margin, it might be a practice second hand dealers sometimes employ. They sometimes take your order down, but do not actually place it until they got more orders in order to save shipping costs.

How long have you been waiting now?

I placed my order @ 9/2/2014, So 32 days up to now

I would guess they would be done around now. At least done and on the way. It is harder to say though with the etched orders cause orders to the US take longer in terms of shipping and etched orders also take longer. Point is I do not want to paint a devil on the wall that is not there.

I do not recall a forum post about etched pickups, but with some dealers there have been instances in the past where people would ask the dealer about the status of the order and they would answer that they were waiting for BKP. Asking BKP they revealed that no order had been placed by that dealer.
Again, these are etched pickups so they definetly will take longer and all might be normal between production and shipping, but at some point, and I can not tell you which, cause I have not had the experience personally, you might be well advised to further investigate the order.

Perhaps the conservative path would be to ask the dealer for an ETA or something to begin with. That should not be longer than 7 days I would estimate with all things considered. If they say longer perhaps give thought to further investigation.

Thank you for your opinion ! ;)

Etching can cause delays to pickups- bareknuckle gets the etching sent away in a batch of 25-30 covers at a time.

If your order comes when they alreadyhave 20 waiting then it wont take too long, however if you are etch customer #2 it will take a while longer to get the batch ready to send off

Waiting is so hard  , especially when I know this point this is my first set of BNK pickups and I'm really exited about the , but the hardest part is, I have just one guitar and it's hasn't pickups until I reverie my JuggerNOTS !!
