Information

Essential Information About the Seymour Duncan AN1405 Antiquity HB Bridge Nickel Humbucker Pickup
• Vintage P.A.F. tone : open attack, clear highs, and warm lows, with that typical "alive" character of vintage humbuckers.
• Slightly warmer wound bridge position : more presence and better balance for riffs, solos, and powerful rhythms.
• Custom Shop aging : authentic look (aged nickel cover) and magnetic aging for a true "period instrument" feel.
• Non wax potted : more air, more harmonics, and a more organic response (ideal for vintage tones, to be tamed at very high gain).

A Classic "Antiquity": The Spirit of 1950s Humbuckers, Custom Shop Version

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker is a must-have reference for capturing the character of old-school humbuckers: a full, nuanced sound with dynamics that follow both pick and finger playing. The AN1405 bridge version retains this signature while offering a slightly stronger winding, designed to better fulfill the role of the bridge pickup.

Who Is It For and What For?

Designed for a Les Paul-style electric guitar (and all guitars with humbucker format), this bridge pickup is aimed at guitarists seeking a credible vintage sound for rock, blues, classic rock, and anything that demands personality without excessive compression. It excels on a tube amp that "works," whether in dynamic clean or crunch tones, and delivers great definition in standard tunings.

What Makes the Difference: Alnico II Magnet, Vintage Wiring, and Ultra-Musical Behavior

At the heart of the AN1405 is an Alnico II magnet, known for its roundness, singing mids, and smooth attack. Its passive electronics and 1-conductor braided cable (vintage style) support easy installation and faithful reproduction of traditional setups. This model is non-splittable : it is designed to deliver the full coherence of a humbucker with a rich, harmonic response. Finally, the absence of wax potting (non wax potted) contributes to a more "airy" feel and a more direct interaction with the amp, ideal for approaching harmonic breakup.

Questions frequently asked

Does the Seymour Duncan AN1405 fit a Les Paul?

Its humbucker size is intended for Les Paul-type guitars as well as instruments equipped with a double-coil pickup cavity. The bridge position and the resistance of 8.6 kΩ are designed for this purpose.

What sound does the Alnico II magnet produce at the bridge?

The Alnico II magnet provides a smooth attack, singing mids, and a warmth suited for vintage tones. The dynamic response follows playing with both pick and fingers.

Can this Antiquity humbucker be coil-split?

The single-conductor braided cable corresponds to vintage wiring and does not allow coil-splitting. This pickup is designed to operate only in full humbucking mode.

Is the Antiquity bridge pickup suitable for rock and blues?

Its slightly stronger winding helps fill the bridge position for rock, blues, and classic rock. It performs well on a tube amp with dynamic clean tones or crunch. Its wax-free design promotes direct interaction with the amp near breakup.
