Will STK-T1n work with Antiquity Bridge?

[Keith James]

I have a 77 Tele w/rosewood neck. Due to fire damage (was saved from pawnshop fire in Texas 20 years ago) had to replace pickups. Antiquity for bridge- mexican stock for neck (it was free). Neck pickup is muddy. Was thinking about Vintage Stack for neck. Will that be too odd of a matchup? Will STK overpower the Antiquity?

it should not over power the antiquity, however most tele neck pups tend to be fairly dark.

Yes, the power should be right...no overpowering there. But it will have that darker, neck Tele tone. If you want a brighter neck sound, the Rhythm for Tele with Strat Tone will get it.

I was wondering about Rhythm for Tele. I just can't find any demos of the pickup. I was leaning towards the STK mainly because there is a ton of youtube examples and I've heard some good tones. I'm a singer, not a lead player, so looking for big chords, a la' Springsteen, Costello, Petty, etc.

Well, since it is a Custom Shop pickup, you can have it wound like any Strat pickup you want. So you can ask them to wire it like the Antiquity II Surfer, or the SSL-2. Just look up demos of the Strat neck pickups you like- they all do that 'big chord' thing, more so than a regular Tele neck pickup (to me) .
