I love the sound of the antiquities. I'm just curious if the coils can be split on that pickup?

Re: Can you split the coils on antiquities?
You have to either open up the pickup and rewire it to be 3 or 4 conductor, or you have to get a 4 conductor as a shop floor custom. As stock, they only come with 1 conductor and can't be split. A quick ebay search didn't seem to show any 4 conductor shop floor customs available for sale immediately.
That's what I did with mine, just rewired it to be 3 conductor.Last edited by Clint 55; 07-02-2020, 01:06 AM.The things that you wanted

You can also specially order a 4 conductor version of the Antiquity through the Shop Floor Custom program, ordered through any authorized dealer.Administrator of the SDUGF

Re: Can you split the coils on antiquities?
I gave up splitting lo to medium humbuckers. To tinny and thin sounding in my book.I get the feeling the A8 will blow your skirt up more so - Edgecrusher

I love my Strat pickups but splitting a 7 or 8K humbucker isn't going to get that sound.
Putting the coils in parallel is better and it's still humbucking...but that doesn't really sound like a Strat either.“Practice cures most tone issues” - John Suhr

Even with a low-to-medium output 'bucker.

Re: Can you split the coils on antiquities?
i find partial split of a neck bucker can be useful. gives a brighter, thinner, lower output tone but isnt as wimpy as a full split. it sure doesnt sound like a strat pup to me but in a live situation, it does what i need it to do

Re: Can you split the coils on antiquities?
yep. my typical rig is guitar->overdrive->amp with the od only for extra push if needed so most of the time its guitar->amp. for clean rhythm work with a clearer, brighter tone the partial split works for me
