Custom Ordering Procedure:
Okay, so you've figured out which BWGC pickup model you're interested in, and you've got an idea of the custom options that you'd like (wood bobbins, multiscale layouts, etc.) and you'd like to get a price quote, all you have to do is email us with the following:
  • Bobbin material/color/wood species desired
  • If Multiscale, please send us the parallel fret location, bass and treble scale lengths, and string spacing at the bridge and nut
  • If you're after a custom voicing, please give us as clear and articulate a description you possibly can of what you're looking for. Do note: We don't manufacture clones of other pickups, although using other pickup models to describe the tonal region you're trying to arrive at is perfectly fine
  • Include any other pertinant information about your custom order so we can give you a quick response on whether or not it is within our wheelhouse or how much it would cost/what the lead times would look like

Once you've emailed us and we have issued you a quote, we'll issue you an invoice via PayPal.
