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.

Yeah it‘s all relative. if I switch from a vintage style single to a Vintage style humbucker they do sound fat and kind of muddy. If I start the other way round I don‘t find the humbuckers fat and muddy…

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

It's the thinness and lack of bass, with metallic top. But all bridge pickups have a metallic top. So thin low powered bridge pickup = automatic clank.

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

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.

Not looking to poll the topic, or opine it, but simply the audible difference breakdown between the 2,,, mainly in the bridge pos. Just the facts, mame~ ThnxTags: None
