Pickup Set Antiquity II for Tele twang 60s, I do not want "relic" ...

Hello everyone, I just arrived in this Forum. My name is Federico and I'm Italian. Excuse me for how I write, I'm not very good with foreign languages​​. Before discovering this forum, I tried to ask this question in another forum, but the solution I have suggested is too expensive for me ... I just built a Tele Custom, inspired by a 3 Color Sunburst, 1966. I would like to set for Seymour Duncan Tele Antiquity II 60s, but they are too relic .... What other pickups sound the same? My guitar is in European ash (body), while the neck is hard rock maple and rosewood fingerboard. I really like the sound of Antiquity II for Tele pickups, but I wish the same, beautiful new shiny! Thank you all, ciao Federico
PS.
1) Install also the S. Pickup Duncan Antiquity II for Tele twang Set 60s on the new guitar ... sounds perfect for my project, but body shiny and grated pickup .... ;-)
2) S. Duncan Custom Shop ... too much money ...
3) Van Zandt Tele Pickups set "Vintage Plus" (never heard sound);
4)?? The choice is yours ...

Hey Federik! My suggestion would be to consult Don Mare for a handwound set that would look new and get the tone you're after.

But if you want the '60s sound for cheaper:

The '62 Custom neck and bridge would do the trick!

And for an even cheaper set - the DiMarzio Twang Kings would work too.

Thanks for the reply. But I think I will buy the Antiquity II 60s and I'll change the cover of the neck. I do not know how to replace the old with the new cover ... hello all!

You may be able to ask Seymour Duncan for a non-relic'd set as well.
