Dimarzio Hot Mini vs. Seymourized Mini for LP Deluxe? Opinions?

[mikeyrsmith]

Which one for the bridge of my early '70s LP Deluxe? Trying to get more output and stop the squeals!

Also... I know that both are more of a Firebird style pick-up (no mounting ring, smooth cover), but can they be made to work with the existing cream pickup mounting ring for the bridge position of the LP Deluxe?

Thanks,

Mike

I do believe that they'll work in a LP Deluxe.

Ah, crap. Looks like the DiMarzio won't fit. Here's what the DM rep just told me:

The dimensions of our minibucker don't correspond exactly to the slot in the mounting ring. DiMarzio Minibucker cover dimensions are 2.68" x 1.11". The screw mounting holes are 2.94", center-to-center."

Anyone know about the "Seymourized" mini? I know that the SD Antiquity II is a direct replacement, but the stock pickup I'm trying to replace is already a vintage-style mini (stock Gibson embossed mini-hum from 1971 or 1972).

The dimensions are listed on Duncan's product page, I think. Maybe a quick look-see is in order.
