A "Vintage Stock" Humbucker... Without Compromise
The Seymour Duncan Antiquity HB Neck Nickel (AN1401) is designed for guitarists seeking the character of a 1950s humbucker, with that "broken-in" pickup feel: smooth attack, expressive mids, and highly musical dynamics. Its aged aesthetic is more than just a visual effect: the entire pickup is crafted to evoke a collector's piece that has endured 40 years of intense playing.
For Which Sounds and Instruments?
Positioned as a neck pickup, the AN1401 targets warm and articulate tones: rich chords, bluesy lines, smooth jazz, and singing leads. It is especially suited for single cut or double cut guitars equipped with humbuckers, as well as any project seeking an expressive vintage sound, from dynamic cleans to organic crunch.
Antiquity Signature: Relic Look and Sonic Identity
Each pickup is handmade in a specific workshop, then signed on the magnet and back plates, a detail that highlights the attention to authenticity in the Antiquity series. The nickel covers and pole pieces are intentionally worn, and the included hardware matches the same "aged" spirit for perfect integration on a vintage or relic-style guitar.
