Fake ANTIQUITY II Telecaster bridge PU

[jimbolp]

Hi there!

Just registered for first post, great to know there´s such a big an active community on SD! I recently spotted a second hand Tele bridge pickup, listed originally by the owner as a Seymour Duncan Antiquity II bridge. I got talking to the guy, he basically bought in in an auction thinking it was a steal but honestly looks nothing like an original antiquity. The only resemblance is the metal material on the top side of the baseplate, which is usually plastic, other than than the whole thing looks too clean and the cloth cable colours are mirrored. Sharing screenshots:

I´ll be heading out tomorrow to check the resistance, 6,6kΩ on the original, I´ll try and check any similar pups before.

Any idea what it might be?

Sure this isn't a Fender one?

In these threads, I like to link back to the mother of all fake SD threads Is this a real Seymour Duncan?

It might be a legit nice pickup, just not a Duncan. A one-off resale from a mistaken seller is not the same as a company trying to profit making fakes.
