Im looking into either of these sets...tryin to make up my mind. Im looking for a nice hot fat sounding pickup...something that can do fat blues to scorching leads. I spoke with Seymour at NAMM, he seemed confident in the Antiquities (and why not?)...im pretty convinced with what ive heard and seen so far. How do the Fralins compare?

Re: Duncan Antiquity vs Fralins
lindy makes a nice pup too. its all what you like. most of lindys models are alnico 5 except the real '54 which is alnico 3. i like alnico 5 in the neck and middle but prefer a2 in the bridge. a5 can work well with an overwound pup inthe bridge too, like the ssl5.
antiquitys are some of the sweetest blues pups out there. i have a strat with surfers in the neck and middle with a custom made a2 bridge pup and a set of texas hots with the custom antiquity I bridge pup. both kick ass but the all a2 strat has a more middy, chewier tone where the surfers are a little more glassy.
edit: patience is a virtue
