SDUG New Forum Pickup

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

Shouldn't matter - as long as your email was sent by the deadline the order should be good, I would think.

Congrats to those who've received yours! Now put 'em in your guitars and tell us what you think while we wait to get ours!

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

What are you planning to put your's in?

I got 3 creme, with RWRP middle. Nothing fancy.

I decided it's not the right time to go all smartass with a bridge RWRP, all straight or something similar. I can always move the middle to the neck if I really want bridge+neck-OOP-series with no hum.

To anyone who has already received their pup:

What is the dimension center to center of the "E" poles?

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

Look through this thread... MJ gave us the pole spacing.

I ordered xmas eve and hope I made the deadline. No confirmation response yet, but that makes me happy because it means SD employees had a reasonable amount of time off for the holidays.

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

I got mine today, but I'm still waiting on the bridge pickup before I can wire it all up

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

Just got mine today!
It's still gonna be some time before I install them since I need to decide whether I'll keep the current bridge or install all three but I'm still pretty darn excited!!! :fest7:

Only gripe I have is that instead of sending them via USPS like last time they opted to use UPS (well meaning of course, after all I didn't specify which I wanted) which not only led to a higher shipping cost but an avalanche of upcharges from this end (customs, additional handling etc) that reached a whopping 110€ (150 USD) where the pickups ALONE cost me 220€ (300 USD) i.e. I paid a hefty 50% upcharge.

If it was sent via USPS OTOH chances are it wouldn't even go through customs due to its' small size and even if it did I would have paid about 2/3 of that

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

UPS shipping? F..k.

I really want these pickups but I hope I can convince MJ to not do that. For anybody else that would be a dealbreaker.

Reminds me I have to call those morons to complain about my driver. Again.

 

[KeeperOS]

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

Nah, I had no complains with mine, they all did everything just fine, they were on time, the driver even came to my home to notify me as MJ didn't have my phone so that they'd call me and informed me of all my options.

It's just that here private couriers are moderated much more strictly than national ones.
That's basically why I'd have better chances of getting away with a smaller upcharge than with UPS or FedEx or whichever else for that matter.

BTW, I'm pretty sure they chose UPS seeing as it was an international order.
For the continental US I'm sure things will be simpler.

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

Mine arrived at the depot on December 30th, but I only got over there to pick it up today thansk to all the snow and work and stuff.

Now I just have to get the body finished and this will have a home. I can't wait to hear it!

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

still haven't gotten my two pickups that I ordered on the last day you were allowed to place orders should I be concerned?

 

[chase]

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

I haven't gotten mine yet either, but Maricela did ping me to ask my phone number, so I assume it's coming and she just has a lot of pickups to wind.

(Since I don't even have the guitar this pickup will go in yet, I'm in no rush.)

Re: SDUG New Forum Pickup

Yes, it seems they couldn't even go through collecting late-comers credit card numbers yet. I figure it's a good sign, it hopefully means quite a few of these suckers sold in the end.
