Frequently asked questions
Will these pickups fit my guitar?
The Antiquity II Adj Mini is a mini humbucker sized for P90 soapbar routes, including Les Paul Deluxe models. The APH-2s is a full-size humbucker for standard humbucker cavities. Check your guitar's pickup cavity dimensions before purchasing.
Which one is better for blues?
Both excel in blues, but the Antiquity II Adj Mini emphasizes vintage P90 character with compressed midrange and woody tone, while the APH-2s delivers warm, articulate response suited to both blues and harder rock. Choose based on your guitar cavity and desired tonal character.
Can I split coils or use advanced wiring with these?
The APH-2s features 4-conductor wiring that enables coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, and other advanced schemes on compatible controls. The Antiquity II Adj Mini specifications do not mention 4-conductor capability, so advanced wiring options are limited.
Which has better sustain?
The Antiquity II Adj Mini is described as having smooth sustain with compressed midrange. The APH-2s emphasizes muscular sustain and refined harmonic content. Both use Alnico 2 magnets, so sustain character differs more by pickup design and wax potting than raw output.
