Frequently asked questions
Which pickup is better for blues and jazz?
The Antiquity P90 is specifically designed for these genres. Its warm, woody tone with articulate midrange and natural breakup captures the singing response of classic P90 instruments, making it ideal for dynamic blues and jazz playing.
Which pickup has more output and aggression?
The APH-2s Slash delivers higher-output character with emphasized treble (8 on EQ) and resonant peaks at 6.4 kHz (neck) and 6 kHz (bridge) that produce articulate aggression. The Antiquity P90 prioritizes warmth and organic response over raw output.
What is the DC resistance difference, and does it matter?
Both sets have nearly identical DC resistance (Antiquity: 7.9k bridge/8.52k neck; APH-2s: 7.92k neck/8.53k bridge), so output levels are comparable. The tonal differences stem from magnet type, construction methods, and EQ shaping rather than resistance.
Are these pickups suitable for beginners?
Both are listed for intermediate, advanced, and professional skill levels. The Antiquity excels for learning classic tones with dynamic response, while the APH-2s is better for players already familiar with high-output modern styles.
