    Those little imperfections on the pole pieces won’t affect the performance of the pickups at all.

    If the look is really an issue to you (and it is only a cosmetic thing), and you bought them at a genuine SD dealer, you can exchange them either at the dealer or through our 21 Day Exchange program.

    sound wise is not an issue at all ...
    is my first time swapping both pickups and using seymour duncan so i was just wondering if it is a normal thing to get stuff like that so ... i dont have any sound clips available yet but i can tell u that there’s a difference in the sound for sure .
    i recommend audere so far so good !!!
    & im loving the quarter pound pickups so far !!!
