Anyone know what specific year the Antiquity II Tele bridge pickup is modeled after? The SD marketing description is kind of vague on details and Tele pickups varied a fair amount from the early to mid 60's.

From what I'd heard, it was sort of an average from several specific Tele pickups, all of which sounded great.Administrator of the SDUGF

I could have swore one of the descriptions said they were modeled after 1967 Tele spec pickups, but the earliest web site copy I can find seems to indicate these were a set Seymour wound for his own mid-60's Tele.

Back in the mid ‘60s, Fender was only making TeleŽs with rosewood fingerboards. I kept asking Bill Carson to make an all-maple slab board neck for me. These pickups are pretty much the same ones that I wound for that guitar — one of my all-time favorite TeleŽs. I keep the tone and look faithful, but I also wax pot them to reduce unwanted feedback when using high powered amps and effects.
