Re: Need help in identifying SD Pickups. Antiquity maybe?
Those do look like antiquities. The leads look all aged and they have that good smelling dust all over them. To find out the output of each pickup, set your multimeter to 1k ohms and touch the leads with it. It should be easy to tell if they're surfers or texas hots once you put them in. The surfers are super spanky and the texas hots sound a bit country.

Re: Need help in identifying SD Pickups. Antiquity maybe?
i dont agree with that. in the world of vintage type strat pups the surfer isnt all that spanky and i dont hear country with the texas hots. the surfer is very much a vintage fender strat tone, the texas hots are a chewier with a softer high end, less bottom and more mids. both are great sounding sets.
those are probably texas hots. put a meter on em and see what you get. put the pups top to top and see if they attract or repel. if all three repel and read mid 6k then you have three antiquty I texas hots and can can put them in what ever spot ya want. if one of the pups attracts to the other two then that is the rw/rp middle pup. if one pup reads 9.5k then that is the custom bridge model

Black bottom and copper wire with Seymours sig is Ant 1 Texas Hots.
I don't have the Ant 2 Surfers, but I believe they would be grey bottom and purple wire, no?

Thank you very much Jeremy, meter says 6,5k for all of them also top to top they repell to each other. So i can put them in whatever position i want, right?
Many thanks to everyone....

correct, they are all the same and you can put them in what ever position. i have a strat that is setup the same way (albeit with antiquity II jaguar pups) all three the same wind and same polarity, just the way the old strats came from the 50's into the 70's

Why don't you call the SD Custom Shop? They should be able to tell you EXACTLY what they are by the serial number. That's how I identified a set of of Antiquity buckers.
My Texas Hot Ants don't sound "country" to my ears, but they are fabulous for rock, blues and fusion jazz. They have a much thicker tone than my guitars with the SSL-2s. I use the sets with the RW/RP middle and the Power Bridge.
