If it also came as a two pickup version, I would definitely consider one!

If it also came as a two pickup version

that would be this one....

Very nice guitar.
I have a Trapeze conversion as I did not care for the Lightning wraparound. Intonation and tuning stability being the key factors.
The Seymour Duncan version P-90 sounds good, but ordered an Antiquity P-90 dogear to try out and compare.

I'm liking the trapeze on it.

There's also that intonatable bridge @Paruwi has used any number of times. Keeps the "look" more so than a trapeze and solves the problem.

I'm well aware of the intonatable bridges having used them myself, I was referring to I like the look of it.

Yes, but I have a feeling Epiphone laid down a little more in that Old Glory... Besides, the neck pickup should be staples.

I love mine just as she is.


I'm pretty sure my tech said it was a Duncan Antiquity P-90 already installed when did the setup, will have to check when I next change strings.

Your tech has mistakenly misinformed you as JJN has said that they all come with a Seymour Duncan U.S.A. P-90.

Yeah I found that out early this morning - its the Seymour Duncan SP90-1B. The major difference being this has a Alnico V in it where as the Antiquity has a Alnico II magnet. I'm on the lookout for a new tech - too many little faults creeping into his work. I'm thinking of doing a magnet swap to either Alnico II or the more historically correct Alnico III.

I'm confused.

 

[Fullmoon 1971]

I'm confused.

Don't get me wrong the sound is fantastic, changing the magnet to a Alnico III would lower the output slightly bringing it closer to original pre-57 P-90's. I have to have a little tinker with all my guitars - just to make them mine and to be honest there's nothing else I'd change. Lets face it though I've had the guitar for nearly 4 months now and not changed it yet, so it probably wont happen, it's just too good to take out of my gigging guitars even for just a magnet swap.

 

[Raiyn]

I'm confused.

Just what we do.

Don’t mean to wake a dead thread, but curious what you thought between the Antiquity and the SD in the Old Glory?
