Question about Rose Pickups

[fadetoz]

Ken will fill the order I’m sure.

 

[Kenny G]

Have you heard anything? I still have no resolution.

Likewise, I haven’t heard a peep. At this stage I’m philosophical, and just hope the guy’s ok.

Just checked his website, and it's no longer in use...Hope Ken is o.k.

I've had his p/u's for some years now, still very happy with them.

Sigh, a lot of these independent pup and parts maker are often guys who either does this as a side thingy between time allotted for family and work or does this as a small business. When COVID happened, many got knocked out due to various reasons: loss of job, supplies, location, health, etc. Which sucks as this, for one reason or another, killed a lot of valuable skilled/quality/(and often affordable) alternatives to the big boys in the business.

Yeah, hate to say it but don’t hold your breath on these pickups. I’ve been waiting for a year, I doubt I’ll ever see the pickups or my money.

 

[Robbmonster]

So, took the money and ran, huh?

Whatever the case, hope he's ok. My communications with Ken on the occasions we had business were always... tense.

His philosophy always seemed to be 'you have paid for them, I will deliver them, so don't ask. I don't care how many months it's been, I am a busy man'.

 

[fenderlyfe]

well its now been well over a year and nothing

 

[Michael7]

It is a real shame that you guys who didn't get your orders haven't been taken care of by now. If nothing else, you should have been refunded the price paid.

Well I have serval guitars with Rose pickups, Ken probably fell in some hard times or bad luck. He was an outstanding member here and I miss his input on stuff, he even gave away some pickups to members here. I hope he’s okay and maybe bounce’s back. He did make some killer pups.Hope your okay @Ken Rose!
