I just bought a second hand Antiquity Dog Ear P90 and the bobbin is cracked and a chunk even came off. I taped it back together with scotch tape. Is this normal for them? Should I be concerned about it? It's under the cover so visually it's a non-issue.

Dunno, mine is under the cover.
I wouldn't worry about it. I wouldn't wiggle it too much so that the wire isn't cut by the sharp edges. -
You answered your own question.it's a non-issue.

as long as the pup works, and you got a good deal on it, then i wouldnt worry about itComment

Yeah, if the coil is in place, and the wire isn't broken, then all is good. Always a risk when buying used pickups, I guess.Administrator of the SDUGFComment

Shame too. Gonna be difficult to resell. I installed it... and pulled it. Hated the tone out of it.-

It just sounded worse than the stock Gibson P90. No chime, mushy, compressed.Originally posted by Mincer View Post-

Magnet swaps are easy, fast, and cheap, and very often save a "bad" pickup.Originally posted by Powdered Toast Man View Post"I don't like the real world. I have to live there, and it sucks.

What's easier is putting the original pickup back in and selling the Antiquity to someone else. Sometimes a pickup and a guitar just aren't well suited for each other.Originally posted by jafo View Post-
