Re: Feedback on Acmeguitarworks.com
they are extremely slow. I got a loaded pickguard from them and the work was great quality, but it took months to get. I used paypal and after wating nearly 3 months I open a complaint against them and then suddenly a few days later my stuff shipped.

The same thing happened to me with GFS. They said my order would ship in less than 1 week and after waiting 1 month, I opened a complaint. They shipped it out about 2 weeks after the complaint.

Re: Feedback on Acmeguitarworks.com
I ordered right after they made a nice size foible. Ordering a BOATLOAD of HSS-routed pickguards from chandler without properly measuring where the pickups went in relative to the routing on my guitar. I received my strat guard back and the middle pickup slot was about 1/4" too close to the neck pickup. I called back George and he said he realized the mistake after it wouldn't fit routed guitars and that he would redo the entire assembly for free. True to his word he did, and paid shipping both ways. However, this was after he did the move to Florida, but I haven't ordered anything from there since. I have been thinking for my HSS strat to get it a PG filled with SC antiquities, but I don't feel that it should be a 2 to 3 mth wait to get one with solderless connectors.
It would be really far out and groovy if Acme would state what's going on on here. They are an SD dealer and it could be something as simple as they ran out of that part, or they're having a problem with PGs, who knows. But, being a moderator on a different forum for laptops, I think AGW does deserve a chance to defend itself on here and why things haven't been going right for it.

Re: Feedback on Acmeguitarworks.com
I have heard these horror stories many times, but personally speaking I have never had a problem with my pickup orders - all over the course of the last year, so I assume this was post move? I email George asking if the item is in stock and when he confirms its in stock I send a reply that I just placed order XXX for said item and he usually responds back, "will ship today!" Only once did I not receive a reply in regards to an in stock item, so someone else got my order instead.
