Frequently asked questions
Which pickup fits my guitar?
The Antiquity 2 ADJ is a mini-humbucker sized for guitars with soapbar-style routing, typically found on semi-hollow or specialty instruments. The Antiquity JB is a standard dual-coil humbucker for typical humbucker cavities on solid-body electric guitars. Check your guitar's pickup cavity dimensions before ordering.
How do the output levels compare?
The Antiquity 2 ADJ Mini-humbucker has 8.1K DC ohms, delivering moderate, balanced output ideal for vintage tone without excessive gain. The Antiquity JB has 16.6 kOhm DC resistance, roughly double the output, making it significantly hotter and better suited to rock and hard rock where punch and sustain matter.
Which is better for blues and classic rock?
Both work well, but the Antiquity JB's higher output, alnico 5 magnet, and aged construction deliver the thicker, warmer tone most blues and classic rock players expect from a bridge humbucker. The Antiquity 2 ADJ excels in jazz and cleaner vintage settings where articulation and midrange presence are valued over thickness.
Can I adjust the Antiquity JB's response like the Mini-humbucker?
The Antiquity JB features fixed pole pieces designed to capture authentic 1970s character without user adjustment. The Antiquity 2 ADJ's adjustable pole pieces offer personalized string-to-string balance and output matching, making it more flexible for setup preferences.
