SD Seth Lover vs Antiquity for Classic Rock on a SG?

[4406cuda]

I an trying to decide between two pickups for a 2011 Gibson SG Standard. I am playing a Classic Rock through a Boogie Mark V.

Seymour Duncan Seth Lover or Antiquity

Which one would you pick?

Both pickups are not wax potted to retain the characteristics of '50s pickups.

I have some interest in the Seth Lover ones but not sure how much gain/distortion they can handle without being noisy or feeding back.

Both pickups are not wax potted to retain the characteristics of '50s pickups.

And that's why I'd chose another option.

Antiquity !
Real 50's PAF pickups are not wax potted and that's is part of the magic for those classic tones.
I use unpotted pickups all the time with my Soldano amps and have no issues unless I stick the damn guitar right next to the speakers.

I have an antiquity neck and seth lover bridge in my lp. Great combo. Both pups are great. Billy g is using an antiquity in his sg

Is Billy using them both in the neck and bridge of his SG?
