Antiquity mini humbuckers

[gmann]

I've ordered many of SD's pickups over the yrs. I'm thinking of replacing the mini hums in an Epiphone Riviera I just bought. Any one have experience with these? Also, will the SD's fit in the cover, they are not like the P90 cover so I'm wondering. Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure if the minis come with the ring and all the mounting hardware.......typically minis are quite a bit harder to swap between the surround, as the side screws are not set up like a humbucker.
If they come with the surround, then the rout corners are the only issue......there are tight radius corners and wider radius ones.

I restored a Gibson SG few years ago and placed Antiquity Mini humbuckers on it. Not only it looked perfectly original, but the sound was just perfect, round overdrive but easy to stand out when mixing even without eq (we used it in "Spirit Dance" on Sun Travellers Excursions).

Mini-HB's are great in the neck slot.

the antiquity minihumbucker i got a few years back came with the mounting ring. it was actually a pita to get it out of there since i was using it for a custom application but it sounds fantastic
