Antiqities Strat Pickups? Fill me in...

[jamison162]

Since there's not a lot of clips of the Duncan single coils on the website, I'm not sure what I should be looking into. Guess I can start by asking some opinions on the Antiquities set. What's the specs on them? 43 formvar, low output, A2' or A5's?? Thanks.

there's a lot of info on the main site:
http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/antiquity/stratocaster/

in general, Antiquity pickups are A2 magnets; Antiquity II are A5 mags.

antiquities are 6.3K; the custom bridge is ~ 9.7K, but they vary slightly since they're hand wound. the custom bridge is probably 43 ga. wire, and the regular ones are probably 42 ga.

I have a few clips :
