  • Custom Shop Pickup: ordering your own pickup?

    hi, im considering ordering a custom version of a pickup seymour does not currently make. im wondering what the turn around time is on a pickup you custom order, such as for a 8 string guitar. i know the cost is quite high at $285. im wondering how long it takes to order just about anything from the custom shop that isnt a production model.

    I've only ordered 6 string pups from the CS, but the turnaround has been pretty quick. Never more than a month I think. The turnaround gets long if you have to have something fabricated such as the Charlie Christian pups.

      im looking at a benedetto 8 string b6. its in the not so distant future, and they seemed kinda shocked by the request but said it can be done.

        Probably because most guys wanting 8 strings are wanting HOT winds.

          Since this is just a user forum, best thing would be to call the custom shop.

            i ordered one and the turnaround was really good. a couple of days plus shipping time.

            considering they already make 8 string humbuckers, i'm sure it's not a problem.

              its for a neck pickup, i only use for clean stuff. i do however wondered about any form of custom orders like mods to already stock pups they make in the custom shop.

                It always depends...the more fabrication the longer the wait and the closer to NAMM or another big event the longer the wait.
