Antiquity Texas Hots - how to find out bridge/neck/middle

[Dave415]

Hi all, I have a set of Texas Hot Antiquity pickups I bought back in the 90s and recently dug out of storage. To save space, I put them all in one Antiquity box, and there are no stickers on them, so I can't tell which are which. Any tips on how I can identify which are which?

Thanks in advance,
-Dave

Place them face to face...magnet to magnet.

The one that sticks to either of the other two is the middle if it’s RW/RP.

If they’ve been installed, the one with the shortest black and white leads will likely be the bridge.

Or if you have a multi meter measure the DCR.

The highest will likely be the bridge.

yep. if they are all the same magnetic polarity and all read about the same, then you can put them in whatever place you want. if they were installed then you might be able to tell just by looking at the length of the wires. great sounding pups
