Are we comparing the Hybrid to the Ant II mini humbucker?Administrator of the SDUGF

The Antiquity (not 2) humbucker is clankville. I wouldn't get it unless you specifically want a clank as a tone or are going to turn up to fill it out. The hybrid is on the thinner side but has some substance to it so is a better option.Last edited by Clint 55; 01-23-2023, 04:57 PM.The things that you wanted

BTW, I don't hear it is clanky. It is a pickup that translates your right hand into music. Very dynamic, and very clear & vintagy.Administrator of the SDUGF

The Antiquity humbuckers are not thin at all. In fact, they translate the sound of the guitar and the player very very well.Administrator of the SDUGF

The op was talking about bridge position so that's what I meant. The neck pup is quite warm, the bridge is their thinnest humbucker. Vintage wind with a cover and degaussed A2. It's super vintagey. If that's what someone is going for all good, but should probably warn them because they're marketed and touted as rich.The things that you wanted

i dont hear the antiquity humbucker as thin. i like them a lot and have them in a few guitars. they are low output and very vintage sounding, bright maybe, but not thin. it all depends on your perspective though, if youre used to a distortion then almost all vintage output pups are going to be thin sounding

I went from hot pickups in everything then gradually adding some vintage ones. My Squire Strat has vintage wound A3 singles in the neck and bridge. There's a vintage wind A5 in the middle. And my Shecter Blackjack now has the Fuglies in it, and they're wound ~8k with A2's. It's nice to have different options for sound, especially when they all sound good.
