I recently purchased a used guitar over the internet and the seller told me the pickups were a '59 in the neck and an Antiquity in the bridge. When I got the guitar I noticed that the bridge cover plate wasn't worn as I had expected and when I opened up the back cover plates I noticed that both pickups have 4-wire + ground leads. I had expected the Antiquity to have a 1-wire+ground lead. This made me suspicious so I looked under the pickups and found the stickers with SH2N-0641 for the neck pickup and SH14-1144 for the bridge pickup. Looking up on the SD website it looks like these are actually a Jazz pickup and a Custom 5 pickup. Is that correct? Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the Forum!
Yes..what he^ said. The Jazz and Custom 5 are pretty different than a 59 and Antiquity (and an Antiquity is generally more expensive). Hopefully you might be able to bring this to the seller's attention. BTW, if I see a guitar I like and someone says 'it has xxxxx pickups in it', I always ask for pics. Maybe you have some recourse here. The pickups you have are good, but they will sound vastly different.

I kind of think it's much better off they were a 4-conductor Custom 5 and a Jazz. The seller ripped himself off IMO.
