Do I have Antiquities in my Guitar?

[BiggsteR]

Hello Peeps,

So I buy this superbly relic'd Strat from eBay, bloke says it has been fitted with SD Antiquities. I removed the pickguard last night - can anyone tell me if these pups look like antiquities?

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks all!

those dont look like the antiquities i've had, but maybe the older antiquities were different

Are those bakelite covers?

Antiquitys were not made in 89'

your cover's look like JM Rolph relics

They sound great - no I'm not selling, just curious as to whether they are actually antiquities!

Are those bakelite covers?

I don't think so, I think they're just like standard strat covers, but relic'd

Antiquitys were not made in 89'

your cover's look like JM Rolph relics

I thought the numbers would be models, as they would be slightly different pups in the bridge, mid & neck... I would have thought the "SD" mark stands for Seymour Duncan, but I can't find any info about their model/serial numbering scheme.

Thanks for the input all!

no, they aren't antiquities - they have a signed sticker and serial number on the back..

SSL-1s?

I don´t think so... looks more like SSL-1s with grody covers to me.... Like Imp said, No sig or serial....

But they may not have always been made that way (though i´m fairly sure they were...)

Thank you all for your replies.

The SSL-1 pole pieces look to be at very similar heights, so looks like it could be them.

Does anyone have SSL-1s and can confirm that the back of the pups look the same?

Thanks!
