Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Antiquity 2 Jive on a Telecaster or the ST59-1 on a Jazz Bass?
No. The Antiquity 2 Jive is designed specifically for Jazz Bass neck position (4-string, 3.492" length) and will not fit a Telecaster bridge cavity. The ST59-1 Little '59 is a compact humbucker built for Telecaster bridge position and is incompatible with Jazz Bass routing.
Which pickup is better for high-gain and rock tones?
The ST59-1 Little '59 is purpose-built for classic rock, hard rock, and contemporary high-gain applications with its 17 k ohm DC resistance and ceramic magnet. The Antiquity 2 Jive (8.1 ohms) is voiced for jazz and funk and is not designed for metal or hard rock.
Are both pickups hand-made?
The Antiquity 2 Jive is hand-wound in Seymour Duncan's Custom Shop with hand-ground calibrated magnets. The ST59-1 Little '59 is built in Santa Barbara, CA with wax potting but does not specify hand-winding.
What wiring flexibility does each pickup offer?
The Antiquity 2 Jive features a cloth push-back cable suited for period-correct vintage builds and retrofit projects. The ST59-1 Little '59 includes a 4-conductor cable supporting split-coil and series/parallel wiring options for tonal versatility on Telecasters.
