Packaging question

[PeterJCruz]

I have seen SD pickups some in the clear cases.. but some have a "green" insert and others with the "pink" insert. My local GC has all pink (I'm just talking humbuckers here). I was wondering do the colors of the package matter. Are the green ones the TREM spaced versions and the pink the non-trem (i.e. SH-XX)? Any other differences?

Also, do the trembuckers already come with the mounting rings?

Thanks

Re: Packaging question

Yeah, green cards are trembuckers, and pink are standard spaced. And yes, Brand new trembuckers do have mounting rings included

Re: Packaging question

np. there's no reason they shouldn't be able to order in what you need, fwiw.

Re: Packaging question

True.. but them ordering usually means like a week or more to get it in.. Ugh!

Re: Packaging question

They did the same thing back when I worked for them in '01-'02. Never understood it because everybody that wanted a new pickup had a Floyd Rose or a Strat trem and needed a Trembucker. Almost every pickup I sold was a special order. I actually got yelled at to sell what we had, once, but I told them that we never stocked what the customer wanted and we still made money on the order.

However, it's the usual problem of Guitar Center buyers not having a clue as to what the general customer actually wants. It's why I'm completely, utterly bored with the guitar selection when I go in there. They have seven of the same black MIM Strat, none of the more interesting colors, and then 75 $3000+ Les Pauls that will never sell.
