Seymour sig?

[Cdntac]

I had the chance to buy a set of older Antiquities today…..so I did.

I don’t know how old — the seller said he’d had them quite a while.

I’m guessing that’s Seymour’s signature?

it is indeed

I’m going to guess that since it was wound by Seymour that it has to be somewhat old.

The bridge measures 8.2k.

I forget exactly what the neck is but I think it was 7.7-ish.

Indeed, both of them.

Antiquities sound fantastic. I have them in a semi hollow Gibson, and they are remarkable.

It was made in the 11th week of 2007.

Thanks. I was wondering if the date code was as obvious as that but hadn’t got around to Googling it yet.

I heard Seymour winds all antuquity pickups.

I heard Seymour winds all antuquity pickups.

He did on the early runs, at least.

im 100% sure the antiquity humbuckers are wound on the leesona, so machine wound. single coils were hand guided by seymour and mj.

its the leesona from the old kalamazoo gibson factory that wound p90s and pafs, so i think thats awesome

Also, signing them and actually making them are 2 different things.
