If you’re unsure about shipping costs to your country, contact us before placing your order and we’ll provide an estimate.

3. How can I track my order?

Local orders: Updates are usually available within a few hours after dispatch.

Yes.

Most of our products come with the manufacturer’s warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty lengths vary by brand and product type.

For Gotoh, Switchcraft, and CTS parts, warranties are typically 6–12 months.
Strings, picks, and consumables are not covered under warranty due to natural wear.

If you experience a warranty issue, please contact us with photos/videos and proof of purchase.

7. Can you help me choose the right part?

Absolutely!

If you’re unsure whether a part will fit your guitar (e.g. tuner hole size, bridge spacing, or potentiometer type), email us with your guitar’s make, model, and year. Our team will help guide you toward the correct fit.

8. Do you offer discounts for bulk orders or luthiers?

Yes, we support builders and repair shops. If you are ordering in bulk or regularly purchase parts for repairs/builds, contact us at info@thehardcastleco.co.za to discuss wholesale or loyalty pricing.
