Anyone compare an SM-1 to an Antiquity II Firebird?
I'm guessing the SM-1 is wax potted and the Antiquity is not. Ant should also have aged magnets. Other than that what are the differences in output and tone?

Thanks Jeremy,

Hard to find clips of those two pickups. I do tend to prefer wax potted pups as I sometimes play with considerable volume/gain.

SM-1 neck pup loaded in the Hot Rod Deluxe tele sounds pretty sweet.
