Frequently asked questions
Are these products compatible with each other?
No. The Antiquity saddles are bridge hardware replacements for Telecasters, while the Cory Wong Clean Machine is a neck pickup for any guitar with standard single-coil routing. They serve completely different functions and address different parts of a guitar.
Which is better for vintage Telecaster restoration?
The Antiquity '50s Bridge Saddles are specifically designed for this purpose, with period-correct construction, hand-machining, and artificial aging to match 1950s hardware. The pickup is unrelated to bridge restoration.
Which product works for modern genres like funk and contemporary styles?
The Cory Wong Clean Machine pickup is explicitly designed for funk and modern clean electric playing, with overwound construction and Alnico IV magnets for contemporary punch and clarity. The saddles are vintage-focused and not genre-specific.
Do both products require professional installation?
The saddles offer drop-in compatibility with standard Telecaster bridges but may require intonation and action adjustment. The pickup requires basic soldering knowledge for wiring or professional installation, and integrates into any standard guitar wiring scheme.
