Custom BKP = more £?
« on: February 15, 2008, 09:42:36 PM »
Just wondering, I'm trying to order a pair of calibrated open sets of Nailbombs; Black-Bridge // Zebra-Neck(Colors are customizable too right??)
And ceramic magnet in the bridge( \m/ Nolly).
Would that cost much more money to buy? or just a little difference?
Thanks,

Kang

Yep, changing magnet doesn't cost any extra. Tim makes every pickup to order so it's not a problem.

Oh and, good choice  :wink:

Actually, I have an open coil Cold Sweat with double screws and it cost me a bit extra. About as much as a covered version.

Yeah double-screw poles costs more, as does having a 7-string variant.

Strange.

I've had that three times as an extra now and its never cost me more

Edit: And I've never had a 7 varient, but I could swear that last I checked it was the same.

So far as I can tell, tim considers the material costs in such variations neglegable and adds cost for extra work (potting, ageing, heating and cooling, camo-ing, "going at it with a belt sander" etc)

Its a major reason sigle coils are so much cheaper relative to HBs than normal.

speaking of custom orders, I received mine this morning - calibrated cold sweat pair with chrome covers, one of which is a custom 12 pole cover with custom engraving.  got charged £10 extra for the custom cover and £5 for the engraving - Tim told me it's usually more for custom engraving designs but as I ordered something similar to the standard bkp engraved logo it reduced the cost by a fair bit.
