Need Help Identifying Pickups

[jamesw1301]

Hello all! I have a set of what I think to be Duncan Antiquity Strat pups, but am not sure what Antiquities these are (I or II, Surf, Texas hot). Can anyone out there help me identify these pups?

Here's a pick of the base of each pup:

Someone else will probably chime in with your answer, but I will tell you that those stickers look awfully like recaptcha anti-robot codes.

Do you have the DCR values?

Pretty sure those are Antiquity IIs. The "STC" is the hotter bridge if I am not mistaken.

Did you just get them or have tried them?

So I have actually had them for a while and have had them in a strat. I've never owned antiquity's before these. The bridge does feel hotter than my other strat's bridge.

So did you like them?

I do like them. Although they are not quite as good as my Bill Lawrence Microcoils. They do sound good. I just need to find out if they are Surfers or Texas Hot Antiquities haha.

If you have a meter, check the DCR.

Unfortunately I don't have a meter to measure the DCR. Which is why I was hoping someone would know based on the base plate stickers. But its looking to be more cryptic than I had hoped haha

I think Texas Hots have black fiber.

*Bump*

I have an update on these still unidentified SD pickups. I've removed them from the strat they were in and tested the DCR (listed below). Also, btw, I've learned the Middle pickup is not RW/RP, so I am not certain they are Antiquity II's? And it also looks that the Bridge pickup is much hotter than the Neck and Middle. Could these be Antiquity I's?

Here's the DCR of each pup. I am hoping someone can help me identify these pickups:

Bridge: 9.8K
Neck: 6.1K
Middle: 6.1K

Hi! The gray flatwork makes these Antiquity II. Thanks!

Thank you! Also, with the middle pickup not being RW/RP, do you think these are Antiquity II texas hot's?

Just a heads up:

The Antiquity II are the Surfers.
The Antiquity I are the Texas Hot.

There are no Antiquity II Texas Hot.

Maybe it wasn`t bought as a set? (i.e. The no RW/RP)

Re: Need Help Identifying Pickups

Ok, that would make sense why you can't find Texas Hot's labled at II's. I was also thinking that maybe they were not a "set" and had been purchased individually rather than in a set. I wonder if SD has a serial number database that I can reference?

Re: Need Help Identifying Pickups

You can get Surfers with or without the hotter bridge and RWRP. The "set" that is marketed is what you have (hotter bridge, RWRP middle) but they still come in three separate boxes.

So the middle pickup I have is not RW/RP oddly enough. So I don't know if what I have is the set or not?

Since you can order the pickups in any combination, most dealers just stock the individual pickups. Someone could have just wanted the hotter bridge, and not the RWRP middle.

I have ordered plenty of Surfers and never have three pickups come in a single box as a "set".

So do you think these pickups are Antiquity II surfers? Its all so confusing haha. But another poster mentioned the grey bottom indicated Antiquity II?

Huh?

I know they are Surfers. Antiquity II are Surfers, one and the same.

Antiquity I are Texas Hots (and they have black fiber bottoms)

Alex has stated that they were, indeed, Antiquity II Surfers.
