The Antiquity II Tele bridge is built with specially calibrated, hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets with the period-correct pole stagger. There is plenty of snap and bounce of the low strings, and on the high strings this pickup gives you that classic Tele twang, but without the dreaded ice pick harshness. Hand-built in our Custom Shop, the Antiquity II Tele Rhythm recreates the look and sound from the 60s. We use custom-aged, grey bottom flatwork, brass plated steel bottom plate, vintage push-back cloth wire, and each pickup is lacquered and wax potted like the originals.
