Help Identifying Pickup

[Gourdgoblin]

Hi guys, maybe someone here can help me out.

I have a JB but it has a braided metal wire, I figured it's an antiquity but when I saw pictures online they seem to have an aged look to them, but mine looks brand new.
The back says it's a JB sh-4 but nothing about antiquity, so what is it exactly? Just wanted to get some confirmation from somebody.

i think it's exactly what U Read off ( I'm not all up on SD stuff , but changing the Leads to Shielded outer ( being a traditional factor ) wouldn't be the main criteria to make it an Antiquity model - just a slight factory config change ? but i could get admonished for the wild guess ( and All chewed out over it : )

It's an ordinary JB. If you bought it new from a respectable dealer, then the braided wire most probably is a Custom Floor order, if not, then somebody simply changed it.
