Has anyone seen or ordered a 4 Conductor Antiquity Humbucker?
Also, are the Antiquities sold as a neck model and bridge model?

Re: 4 Conductor Antiquity Humbucker
Sorry for the super open ended question, you just see a plethora of SD CS stuff on reverb, eBay, music zoo and some other sites, but I've never seen a 4-conductor antiquity. I have no doubt the CS can do it, but I've never seen a "stock" one.

4 Conductor Antiquity Humbucker
edit: No, I haven't seen a "stock" 4 conductor antiquity.
The neck pickup would be interesting to hear split. I love the antiquity neck humbucker.
Double Edit: Lol. I keep editing this.
yes, antiquity humbuckers come in neck and bridge models. The neck sounds perfect to me stock (7.4k)
The bridge in my experience needs work. It should probably be sold instead with an a4. An UOa5 sounds like an antiquity "plus" to my ears. Great output, nice complex mids, sweet pronounced top end. Mine is wound at 8.5k.
Blueman335 put it best when he said, UOa5 is great for adding body to bridge pickups. Big +1 to that!

^^ I'd love to hear your results when you do. It's a tad bit warm, but my guitar compensates well.

I don't think it's impossible. I think it would just be expensive.
If you called the custom shop and asked for an "antiquity spec" with 4 conductor wiring, you could probably get it. Just call it something else and I think everyone will get along.

Re: 4 Conductor Antiquity Humbucker
So a "Custom Shop 4 Conductor Humbucker wound to Antiquity Specs and aged cosmetics" is allowed, but it arrives in a CS box rather than Antiquity box with signature, etc?

From what I've seen, Antiquity pickups through the custom shop are labeled "A". The ones on eBay or reverb usually have full strength magnets in most cases. I have one of these "A" pickups. I got one on eBay for $80.
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to order it as an "A" humbucker with 4 conductor leads/full strength magnets/aging.

I really need an explanation for this statement; I just can't imagine what you mean with that.
