Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together in the same guitar?
No. The Antiquity P90 is a neck-position P90 dog-ear pickup designed for single-coil-style mounting, while the Red Devil is a humbucker-construction bridge pickup for Telecaster bridge cavities. They serve different positions and guitar types.
Which is better for blues?
The Antiquity P90 is purpose-built for blues with its warm, smooth midrange and natural compression that captures golden-era P90 character. The Red Devil can handle blues but leans toward aggressive, high-output rock and metal tones.
What's the output difference and why does it matter?
The Antiquity P90 has 7.8 ohms DC resistance, producing lower output ideal for clean and lightly overdriven tones. The Red Devil has 16.70k ohms, delivering high output that cuts through distortion and sustains longer—essential for modern rock and metal.
Do either require special wiring or installation?
The Antiquity P90 uses standard two-wire connection for standard Telecaster or similar single-coil-style mounting. The Red Devil includes 4-conductor wiring for optional series/parallel switching but installs passively in standard Tele bridge cavities without active electronics.
