Dunno about the pickup...I notice there's grub screws on the tailpiece, which has gotta be handy in keeping it from falling off when changing strings. Gibson used nylon saddles in the '60s on their bridges...if it's Gibson hardware (or even if it isn't), Murkat would likely have an idea about where it came from.

That's an older Duncan Antiquity bridge... some of the signature has been removed because that's back when he used to sign the baseplates with a Sharpie. I think it's a printed signature now.

Saddles look like Graphtec Tusq but there is graphite in them, so they must be plastic... bone?

Thank you so much zenmindbender! That makes sense on the bridge pickup. It sounds fantastic! I may have to get a matching neck pickup to go with it. The guitar currently has a burstbucker #1 in the neck which is a tad muddy when clean but sounds very smooth and creamy with gain. A matching neck antiquity may be worth a try.

The saddles are nylon/plastic. That's about all I know.

It's an Ant. And I am 99% sure the two first numbers indicate which year it was made. So it would be from 2014 then. Not so old.

The Seth Lovers are stamped with a signature, but I think the Ants are all still signed with a sharpie.
