Re: Is the antiquity jaguar a flat pole antiquity surfer?
IIRC if you look at the blueprints, the Jaguar pickup has a narrower/taller bobbin than Strats. I use Jaguar pickups (not antiquities) in a Mustang of mine, and have used them in Strats- they fit and sound fine.

You can always order a flat Antiquity, too under the Shop Floor Custom program.

I was just about to post the same. I use the regular Ants with a 12" radius, but you can certainly order them with flats.

I'd argue no two pickups even sound the same among *the same model* - I've had several sets of Duncan SJAG-1 pickups, and each had different sound characteristics while they all remained in the same DCR ball-park (with expected fluctuations.) I'm probably pickier about how my Jaguar sounds than any of my other guitars, so to me those were differences I didn't even need to do a side-by-side to hear - although they're all low-ish output Fender singles, so you can pretty much use them for the same thing anyway. When you get to the original Fender pickups, there is even more potential fluctuation since things changed at-whim on Strats, let alone the minute differences the Mustang/student series pickups had, and the Jaguar which is a different sized bobbin in the first place.
