What about import duties and taxes?

Different destinations will have different levels of import duty and taxes on all goods entering the destination country. Six String Supplies Ltd is not responsible for said customs duties or additional taxes. It is your responsibility, as the customer, to check these possible additional costs before committing to an order.

What about EU VAT and Brexit?

We are IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) registered.

We ship to customers in EU countries. All orders with a subtotal of €150 or less shipped to countries within the European Union (EU) will have taxes and duties paid at checkout. This means that the price you see for the item(s) in your cart is the final price you'll pay, and there will be no additional fees or charges upon delivery.

Orders with a subtotal of €150 or more will be subject to your destination country's VAT rate and any potential additional duties and/or handling fee by the courier.

Please note IOSS only applies to EU member states, not members of the single market (ie Switzerland/Norway are not covered).

Support

If I buy a wiring kit, will you fit it for me?

All of our prewired and DIY kits come with an easy to read wiring diagram and in many cases, a video is available showing how to wire it.

We are always available for customer support/aftersales via email or phone to help walk you through installation. However, If you are not comfortable fitting our products into your guitar yourself, or you lack the equipment then you need to take it to a qualified guitar tech to install on your behalf.

If you are local enough, we can fit our prewired kits for you - turnaround times depend on how busy we (and you) are.

Can you help me with "x" wiring problem?

We have a thorough wiring resources section providing detailed guides and videos to using and installing our products.

For additional help, do not hesitate to contact us.

Can you do a custom wiring diagram for me?

We do not offer a custom wiring diagram service but can certainly point you in the right direction.

Split shaft pots - require 24 spline push fit control knobs

Solid shaft pots - require 1/4'' (6.35mm) screw fit control knobs
