Is it possible to make a 59C/ Hybrid for a single coil slot but now put it in a Tele bridge mount? From what I see in pics the two bobbins are molded together.

Just curious, what would the 59/C sound like with a degaussed magnet like what is used in the ANT JB compared to the fully charged A5?

One you can buy at any Duncan dealer and the other has to be ordered if you want MJ to wind it. But other than MJ winding it, can you really hear a difference or is it just bragging rights because she wound it. But they both come from the Custom Shop. Pickup in question is the Antiquity JB.

Why doesn't Duncan offer the JB / JR for the telecaster without having to go custom shop? They offer it for a Strat but leave the Tele players to pay CS prices.

I'm building a Tele Esquire with a humbucker and I'm looking for a pickup that's good for blues rock but fatter. I need a hot, dirty, hairy humbucker but won't throw me in heavy metal or over compressed late 80's rock. Think of playing some ZZ Top in a smoke-filled raunchy bar with bikers and...

Where can i get that silver solder Duncan uses when they solder pickup covers on? I've looked everywhere and all i se is that dull 60/40 Roslin stuff.

Duncans website states the JB has 5/6/8 EQ curve, and the 59 / Custom has a 6/8/8. Both using a A5 mag but wound differently of course, but I'm baffled how the 59 / Custom has stronger lows and mids than the JB, The JB has a pretty strong mid bark to it and I don't hear that coming out of a 59 /...

I would like to replace the nickel pole piece screws in my 59 humbuckers with some black ones. Are the OEM screws 5-40 X 3/4" long the correct size Seymour Duncan uses?

Just wondering if an A4 in the bridge of a Phat Cat set replacing the A2 would make the pickup warmer but still P90ish.

I like the Phat Cat set I have in one of my Tele builds but I would like to warm up the bridge some, I'm currently using 500k pots. I'm thinking an A4 would do it but not sure what size the mags they are since I've never taken the cover off of one. Are the Phat Cat mags the same size as the...

In my new Warmoth partscaster Tele build my latest pickup love is the Phat Cat P90 in the neck and an Ant JB in the bridge. It's an alder body with a maple neck and ebony fretbpard. Does this combo sound odd, am i losing it...

Building a partscaster Tele with the traditional ashtray setup and neck single coil pickup, but when I look at sets on SD website, they always list the necks in the 8k range and the bridge pickups in the 6k range. Whay are the neck pickups a lot hotter than the bridge pickups? When you look at...

I want to build a traditional SSS Stratocaster and use real single coil pickups but unsure where to start off with, A2's or A5's. I know single coils can be really thin and bright so I'm leaning towards the Antiquity Texas set with A2's right now. What major tonal differences will I hear...

Does the Phat Cat P90 pickups use the same size magnet bar as their regular size humbuckers? Also, I would like to replace the cover on one with a Black matte cover which SD doesn't offer, since the string spacing is odd at 49.02 does anyone know who makes an aftermarket black cover for it?

I like the 59/Custom Hybrid, but I was wondering what a 59/JB Hybrid sounds like. I read about them in forum, but I have never heard one or much less have a chance to buy one. So please school me on what they sound like.
