The Antiquity Series: The Spirit of Vintage Instruments
The Seymour Duncan Antiquity line pays tribute to the iconic guitars of the 1950s, with pickups designed to fit naturally into a "vintage correct" project. Each model is based on the concept of a period-correct pickup, with intentionally aged finishes to replicate the wear and visual character of an old instrument, without sacrificing the reliability of modern construction.
For Which Guitarists and Guitars?
This neck humbucker is aimed at musicians seeking an expressive, full, and articulate sound on a single cut/LP-style guitar or any electric guitar with a humbucker format. Perfect if you enjoy velvety cleans, organic crunches, and leads with natural sustain, while maintaining excellent interaction with volume and tone potentiometers.
A Faithful Sound Recipe: Double Coil, Alnico II, Simple Wiring
With its double coil, the Antiquity Humbucker reduces unwanted noise while preserving an "old school" response. The Alnico II magnet promotes slight compression and a softer attack, highly appreciated in the neck position for notes that "sing" without becoming muddy. Its single conductor keeps wiring straightforward, ideal for a vintage setup.
