Antiquity pickup for Tele, what should I go?

[5150ed]

Hi can anyone tell me what are the differences of each tele antiquity models?
-Antiquity II™ for Telecaster®: neck and bridge / 11024-32 & 33
-Antiquity for 1955 Telecaster®: bridge (lead), raised D & G pole / 11024-27
-Antiquity for Telecaster®: bridge / 11024-22
-Antiquity for Telecaster®: neck / 11024-21

My guitar is original us 76 telecaster, maple neck&finger board with hard ash body.

It's tone is already wonderful on the neck pick up, the bridge pickup is a little bit too bright and has a lot of feed back when play overdrive.
I already has the antiquity humbucker on my Les Paul so I know the antiquity can make my guitar tone a lot better with vintage mojo. :banana:

So any suggestion? Please help

I like the Ant I best. It's not as bright as the Ant II. I prefer flat poles on the bridge of my Tele as I think I get a little more mids and a fatter tone with flat poles - so I didn't go for the '55.

I had an Ant I in my esquire and really dug it. Great sound-- definitely sounds broken in and not new or harsh. I swapped it out for a Dimarzio Fast Track T for more rock oriented tones, but I'm thinking of putting the Ant I back in because it was better on clean stuff.

yup, shoot for the ant I with flat poles. the antiquity II is great for that shrill spanky tele thing, but thats not my bag
