Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Firebird Bridge pickup in a non-Firebird guitar?
The Firebird Bridge uses Firebird-specific mounting geometry and a 3-48 mounting screw. It is designed for Firebird instruments; the ADJ Mini-humbucker is better suited to offset-body guitars like Fenders that have different mounting systems.
What's the difference in output and tone character?
The Firebird (8.2K ohms, Alnico 5) delivers warmer vintage character with more presence. The ADJ (6.7K ohms, Alnico 2) is clearer with smoother mids and brighter highs, favoring articulation over warmth.
Which one has adjustable pole pieces?
Only the Antiquity 2 ADJ Mini-humbucker Neck has adjustable pole pieces with 0.750 inches of travel, allowing you to compensate for string proximity and neck positioning. The Firebird Bridge has no adjustable poles and relies solely on height adjustment.
Are both suitable for jazz and blues?
Yes, both are listed as ideal for jazz and blues. The Firebird leans toward classic rock warmth, while the ADJ emphasizes clarity and smoothness, making it slightly more versatile across indie and offset-body instruments.
