Frequently asked questions
Can I use both pickups together?
No. The Antiquity Neck is designed for Telecaster neck position only, while the PA-TB3B is a bridge humbucker for guitars with wide pole spacing. They are designed for different guitar types and positions.
Which is better for blues?
The Antiquity Neck excels in traditional blues with its warm, articulate single-coil character and lower output, responding to subtle picking dynamics. The PA-TB3B suits blues-rock and modern blues styles where you need more gain and midrange punch.
What's the output difference and why does it matter?
The Antiquity Neck has 7.9 ohms (very low), producing clean, dynamic tones that stay articulate at high volumes. The PA-TB3B has 9.8 kΩ resistance (medium-output humbucker), delivering thicker, more aggressive tone suited to overdriven amplifiers and harder genres.
Do either work with standard guitars?
The Antiquity Neck fits any standard Telecaster neck position. The PA-TB3B requires a Trembucker-routed guitar or one with wide pole spacing (2" or wider); it won't fit standard humbucker cavities with narrow spacing.
