Artec Sound is based in South Korea and a very large producer of pickups. They produce many OEM pick-ups for other brands in Europe, the US and Asia. Although their OEM pickups are quite famous under their OEM brand names, the Artecs are still a bit of an underdog (good for us).

The Artec Alnico 5 Lipstick Humbucker Neck Pickup Chrome is a great example of Artec's quality and craftsmanship. All Artec pickups are double-waxed to prevent outside interference. With high quality, excellent sound and versatile options, they offer much for an affordable price.

Specifications: Cover: Chrome Plated Cable: 4 Conduct with shield Magnet: Alnico 5 Output Resistance: 15.2 K.

Q. I don't see the guitar body I want. Can you make it for me? 

A. We do not do custom orders unfortunately. What we have available on our website is all that is available period.

Q. You don't have an item I want in stock. Can you call me when you get it? 

A. Due to high demand and logistical reasons, we cannot hold certain items on backorder for you. The best option would be to sign up for our newsletter to be notified when new products are available. 

Q. Where are your necks and bodies made? 

A. Our necks and bodies are sourced overseas in China. Most luthiers know this based off the price of our items. If you can find a U.S. Made guitar neck or body for under $200 we suggest you snag it quick. 

Q. Where are your cases manufactured? 

A. Our cases are designed in California, but like our necks and bodies they are also sourced overseas. The price is indicative of this.

A. We offer free shipping in the domestic U.S. Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska or other US territories requires additional fees. International shipping is available, and shipping prices depend on your region. 

Q. How do you handle customs and duties for International orders? 

A. As the shipper we are not responsible for customs fees or import duties your region may require for your shipment to be delivered. This is done solely at the discretion of your region's import policies. If you have any issues with this, please contact the parcel carrier responsible for delivering your item for more instruction or guidance.  

Q. Can I pick up my order in person? 

A. Yes you can. We ask that you give us at least 1 business day to prepare your order for curbside pickup. We don't allow people into our offices, so your order will be brought out to you. We also ask that you wear a mask when picking up your order to protect our employees. 

Q: An order I recently purchased is now listed for sale. Can you refund me the difference?

A. This is something we will do at our own discretion. If you placed an order within a day or two before the item went on sale, please email us so we can assist you.

Q. I tried to use a coupon and it didn't work. What should I do? 

A. If you received a coupon code in the form of a digital code or physical thank you card that came with a previous order, that code has limitations. Promo Codes are only valid on Allen Eden®️ Guitars products. The promo code will not work if you are trying to apply them to any other products on our store.

Q: What is the warranty on my Allen Eden®️ Guitar?

A: Here is the Allen Eden®️ Guitars warranty

AEG reserves the right to use materials regularly utilized at the time of repair in the event that original materials are no longer available. Warranty service requires a copy of the original sales receipt to be presented at the time of service request.

​This warranty does NOT cover:
1. Any instrument modified after original shipment from AEG factory.
2. Any instrument that has been altered or modified in any way or upon which the serial number has been tampered with or altered.
3. Any instrument that has been damaged due to misuse, neglect or accident.

Returns Policy

You may return most new, unopened items within 14 days of your original purchase date for a full refund. A 10% restocking fee may apply depending on the situation. Shipping costs for international orders are non-refundable. It is also the buyer's responsibility to pay return shipping costs if you are intending to return an item. Products marked as "Final Sale" are non-returnable.

Returns that may fall under the category of buyer remorse include but are not limited to: Color or weight discrepancies, specification issues with your parts, a case not fitting with your instrument, and simply changing your mind about your order. This will require the buyer to pay for return shipping and may still incur a 10% restocking fee. Modifying or changing the product in any way will automatically void your return.

In order to process your return request, please email support@aeguitars.com and provide us with the following information:

  1. Order number
  2. Product name and details (and at our request, photos of the product)
  3. Reason for return

Once we have this information, we will do our best to process your request in a timely manner. If a return is approved and a return label is sent to you, you will have up to 14 days to return the item before the label becomes automatically voided and the return closed. The return label must match the original shipping address of the order on file. We will not create return labels for addresses outside of the original order address.

Suite D
El Monte, CA 91732

All returns must be shipped to this address. Shipping your return to the wrong address will result in a closed return as we cannot retrieve the order from a different address. 

Parts Compatibility

Specifications on our bodies and necks may have a 1-2 mm tolerance. It is your responsibility to make sure your parts will work with this body before purchasing. If your parts do not fit, you can either source compatible parts or you can request a return but return shipping will be your responsibility if this is the reason. A restocking fee will apply in this situation as well.
Send us a message before buying if you have any questions about compatible parts and we'll do all we can to assist.

All returned product must be in "as received" condition and unaltered in any way. Do not bolt together, install screws, sand, drill, rout, paint, file, take the protective plastic off pick-guards or alter the product in any way until you have thoroughly inspected it for accuracy and have checked the fit. Products that has been damaged or altered in any way will not be accepted for return. If any signs of installation are found including impressions from screws or test fitting tuners, the item will not be eligible for return. Returns are not granted for factory second or blowout items under any circumstances. 

Damaged Items

If you are returning an item damaged in transit, please contact us via e-mail with clear photos of the damage. We will approve most damage returns after opening a UPS/USPS claim. If a damage return is received and no damage is found, your refund will be released minus the return shipping costs and a restocking fee.

Custom Orders

There are no returns or cancellations accepted on custom order products. Due to the nature of how they are produced, we cannot honor cancellations after we have submitted your order for production as they are made-to-order products. Each and every custom order product will go into production within 48 hours of the order being placed. Each custom order will be inspected by our in-house luthier before being shipped to you to ensure our high quality standards. Please keep this return policy in mind before making your purchase.

Refunds

You should expect to receive your refund within 2 weeks of the package arriving at our offices, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 7 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it, and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request.

Excellent pickups, going to be used in a custom guitar for our show in Vegas this coming July and be played by some famous guitar players. I am going to use it in the bridge.
