    It could be for any number of reasons, Customs searches (as if they'd find anything illegal in a pair of guitar pickups), flooding, Union disputes (unlikely, but you never know), etc.


    I guess I'm just going to have to grit my teeth and bear it.

    AP couldnt organise a party in a brewery......
    I dont know what the problem is but every parcel I have sent of late either gets lost or takes a long holiday in the Maldives before it bothers to show up......

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Can't complain as most stuff I have ordered usually arrives within a week of despatch from Perth. The only thing that they could do better under their parcel tracking is actually do just that as it just shows in transit then about an hour before arrival you get an update where day before would be good and also more useful.

    I agree, they could be a bit more accurate when it comes to tracking updates.

    So does that mean the SECOND one has ALSO been lost?

    A friend of mine picked up the replica Slash Les Paul signature Chibson, looks good but sounds horrible, it squeals like a pig, he's desperate to off load it.

    That's actually pretty common for chibsons. Most of them come with unpotted pickups.

    Chibsons = unpotted pickups = horrible feedback

    Update:


    I just picked up the new Graphtech Tusq XL nuts from the Winnellie Post Office just up the road from where I live, the two Entwistle pickups are also there but I have to wait till after 5:00pm today so I can go pick them up, not to worry, at least I know they've arrived and didn't get lost.


    I bought two Tusq XL nuts for Gibson guitars (these are for my LP Studio) and two Tusq XL nuts for Epiphone guitars (these are for the SG), the two nuts on the top in the pic are the Epiphone nuts, I bought two of each just in case I made a mistake while installing them, if I have any left over I might see if I can fit one to my PRS SE Custom 24 guitar since the neck radius is about the same and the original nut on the PRS SE C24 needs replacing, I tried one of the Epiphone Tusq XL nuts and it looks like it'll fit with a bit of sanding of the bottom of the nut.


    Here's a pic of the new Graphtech Tusq XL nuts:Click image for larger version.
