Antiquity neck -> bridge position Les paul

[Ruben0910]

I have this Ant neck pickup left. Wonder if it will actually work in the BRIDGE position of a Les paul....anyone tried this?

i havent tried it. might be ok, might be a little bright, thin or weak. they arent very hot pups to begin with. should be very detailed and clear

You might be right about that Jeremy. But those neck Ant's read somewhere round 7,5 Kohm. So that would be in the exact original PAF era wouldn't it?

Why bother? Ant neck humbuckers are worth more than bridge. You should have no trouble finding a trade.

My Ant set has quite a bit of difference between neck and bridge. I don't think I can exchange them and smile.

paf's were all over the place. 7.5k is a very legit reading but so is 8.5k

The bridge Ant in my R8 (early set) is 7.3 vs 7.4 neck Ant. I replaced it with a newer 8.45
bridge that was newer, hated it, put the old one back. The original two sounded much better in the middle setting.

I guess I'm saying it'd work fine in combination with an underwound neck pu.

Ok patrick, so I quess it's worth trying! Is there a difference anyway between Ant neck and bridge pickups except for the Kohms?
