Brief SD Antiquity Humbucker review

[daveyisgreat]

I recently got a new guitar:



I put a set of SD Antiquity humbuckers in and it sounds great! They're a bit hotter than I expected, but very clear and articulate, and very lively. Very balanced, and very full and warm sounding too, but the bridge cuts well with a pleasing bit of bite in the mids. They're 7.50k for the neck and 8.52k for the bridge.

The guitar has an alder body with a flamed maple top, maple fretboard and neck. Just a basic vol/tone/3-way setup here. Simple, but it gets the job done like nobody's business!

I highly recommend the Antiquity humbuckers. Very fun to play!

They have a really rich texture that sounds unique.

the antiquities are perhaps the finest vintage style pickups SD makes. Man man man I love 'm.

I keep wanting to try a set, but I'm not sure how well they would get along with my 5153 and the levels of volume and gain I use.
