It’s definitely not the wire running to the coil. Maybe later today I’ll take it apart even more and look at the ground wire...

I could see how the hot wire was broken away from the braided wire at the solder joint since it’s out in the open when getting the...

That’s the weird part. I can’t see how that happened. I took the wrap off the coil and everything looks fine. But….apparently I...

So after discovering that the pole piece coil isn’t providing a reading via my multimeter, I took apart another pickup I have (made by a...

Nope. No reading at all. So I started taking it apart even more and separated the coils. Somehow, and I don’t know how, the pole...

Yep. I’ve changed magnets before but I’m guessing that since this one was wax potted that I wasn’t as careful as I should have been...

For the sake of experimenting I thought I’d try an A2 in 59. As careful as I thought I was, I inadvertently nicked the braided lead...

When you already have the pickups, it’s different from trying to decide what model to buy and possibly waste $$ if you don’t like the...

I hate a set of Pat # in an old Gibson (they’re not T-Tops) and have used guitars with PAFs many times before. Like I said earlier...

To me, they just don’t have the overall boomyness of SD or other pickups.

I think T-Tops sound ok but they just don’t have the power as compared to modern day pickups. Would a stronger magnet help? I dunno...

I have to admit that of the SD pickups I’ve used previously (59, PG and 78) the Antiquity bridge pickup seems to provide the sound I’ve...

Thanks. I was wondering if the date code was as obvious as that but hadn’t got around to Googling it yet.

I’m going to guess that since it was wound by Seymour that it has to be somewhat old. The bridge measures 8.2k. I forget exactly...

it is indeed
