Re: Help with ID
IMO, the part number label is wrong for a Duncan Antiquity. The d.c. resistance figures are too low for TX Hots.

Perhaps you are right. I want to help to answer the posted question but not enough to unscrew half of my CIJ Jaguar just to eyeball the stickers underneath its SD Antiquity IIs. Sorry, folks.

Re: Help with ID
Thanks Guys,I bought the guitar with the two now identified SD neck and bridge and it has a stock Fender in the middle.Not sure what model Fender but it measures much lower 5.8 and has a much taller stagger and is a mismatch so I will have to replace all pickups or maybe just the middle.I like the sound of the middle pickup also but it makes the 2 & 4 positions weak.016730 is the number on the Fender.

i'm not really familiar with Antiquities but i think thats a Serial Number not a Part Number.

Re: Help with ID
You are right. The same number and scrawled signature appears on the little card tag attached to the cloth bag that comes with each Antiquity pickup.
Guess who just got off his arse and bothered to look at the SD pickup packaging?
The plastic-bobbined Fender single coil is definitely American. The polepieces on American Standard Strat pickups are normally of equal height. Also, the colour coding of the output conductors on middle position pickups is different to denote RP/RW. If your polepieces are staggered, the pickup could be from a Highway 1 model.
Some Duncan vintage-style pickups faithfully recreate the magnetic polarity of Fifties Fender pickups. This is different to modern Fender pickups. Hence, your combination of "vintage" and modern could result in positions 2 and 4 being neither hum-cancelling nor electrically in phase.
Solution - a middle position example of whatever your other two Antiquity pickups turn out to be.

Re: Help with ID
Exactly! The middle sounds good by itself but doesn`t play well with others.It is not hum cancelling in 2 & 4 with this combination.I will have to find the rwrp middle to match the other two.
I`m going to go try and find a SD match if not I suppose I could use any Suhr,Fralin or other RW with the equivalent output and it would mesh well enough?
Thanks so much to everyone for all the help.

Re: Help with ID
Just as an experiment, try reversing the two conductor wires of the Fender pickup. This should improve the position 2 and 4 sounds. It might even restore hum-cancellation.
If the cable runs to the controls are tight, it is possible to reverse the conductors at the pickup baseplate eyelets. Be careful!
