Frequently asked questions
Are these products compatible with each other?
No. The Antiquity saddles are bridge hardware for Telecasters, while the Cory Wong is a neck pickup. They address different parts of the guitar—one is hardware, one is electronics.
Which is better for vintage blues and classic rock?
The Antiquity '50s Bridge Saddles are designed specifically for vintage Telecaster restoration and classic rock/blues tones. The Cory Wong pickup is optimized for modern funk and contemporary clean playing, not vintage blues aesthetics.
What skill level do these require to install?
The Antiquity saddles are drop-in compatible with standard Telecaster bridges and suit beginner through professional skill levels. The Cory Wong pickup requires soldering and wiring knowledge typical of intermediate to advanced players, or professional installation.
Will either of these work with extended or drop tunings?
The Antiquity saddles are explicitly not ideal for extended range or modern drop tunings. The Cory Wong pickup's suitability for alternate tunings depends on your overall guitar setup, not the pickup alone.
