Re: help me with Antiquity II Surfer part numbers for each position

You won't be disappointed. I kid you not, I was jamming with friends earlier tonight with my Ant II equipped Strat, and I switch out guitars after fifteen minutes or so, as I was retiring the Ant II Strat, the bass player (I use that term loosely) and drummer commented how good that guitar sounded. If the Ant II Surfers was a woman, she would have curves in all the right places.

Re: help me with Antiquity II Surfer part numbers for each position

Thanks for all the feedback. Very interesting discussion here for someone who's never switched out their pickups and just read about it for what - 20 yrs of playing strats almost exclusively. Lots of food for thought. That video from bare knuckle - you can definitely hear a difference. I have never really used the 2 and 4 positions, but the mud and tone change is part of the reason why. And it just doesn't work into my music clean. I mainly need a really clear, articulate bridge and neck - and that antiquity surf sounds just wonderful, like what i've been looking for for years. I have not purchased a strat since the 90's, and I must say that trying out the brand new American Standards, I am sorely disappointed in the custom fat 50's pickups that come stock. That's what brought me here. The stock pickups in my 90's american standards sound way better to me at least. At first I was going to go with CS 69's from Fender, but I'm not trying to sound like hendrix - trying to sound like..myself. And the antiquities seem to give you that creative space. So we'll see. You have helped me out here a lot - thanks.

Are you sure that AmStd has the original pickups?

A 1990s Strat is also constructed quite a bit different, maybe it is not just the pickups?
