That might be question for the custom shop (not sure if potting options are available on the shop floor). But I think the answer is yes, one way or another, it can be done. Not until the stay home order is lifted, however.

Ants have weaker magnets and a little bit heavier of a wind. They are about the same output as Seths, but with a warmer e.q. If you want the most warmth, go with Ants. If you want the most clarity, go with Seths. Or you can mix and match (just order your Ant non-aged so it matches the fresh looking Seth).
I prefer Seths. Brighter wind, pushed harder by the magnet, is more up my alley than a darker wind, pushed less by the magnet.
All that being said, both pickups are really in the same neighborhood, in the grand scheme of things, so I'm splitting hairs. But if you want the one with more warmth by a little bit, go with the Ants.

I believe it can. While the Custom Shop is shut down right now, they will answer your questions.

I believe those have traditionally been within the realm of Shop Floor Custom options. However, IIRC, there might have been some recent changes that reduce what options are available as SFC, and move them to Custom Shop options only. I don't remember exactly what the changes were, but potted or unpotted being axed as SFC seems to ring a bell. But my brain/memory is spotty on this issue. Best to ask this question through an official Duncan retailer, as they are the ones who would have to place the SFC order for you.
