Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Antiquity Jazz Model Neck in a Firebird?
No. The Antiquity Jazz Model is a standard-sized neck pickup, while Firebirds use mini-humbucker geometry. The Antiquity 2 Firebird Bridge is specifically designed for Firebird mounting rings and dimensions.
Which is better for blues?
Both are excellent for blues. The Firebird Bridge suits blues lead work with articulate midrange, while the Jazz Model Neck offers warmer, smoother tone for rhythm or neck-position play. Choice depends on your guitar type and playing position.
What's the difference in output level?
The Firebird Bridge has 8.2K ohms DC resistance (higher output), while the Jazz Model has 7.8K ohms (slightly lower). Bridge pickups typically need higher output; the Jazz Model's lower output is voiced for neck position warmth and natural compression.
Are both hand-wound?
The Jazz Model is explicitly hand-wound in Santa Barbara. The Firebird Bridge uses traditional construction but is not described as hand-wound; it emphasizes non-wax potting for resonance instead.
