The Antiquity Series: The Spirit of a Vintage Pickup, Without Compromise
With the Antiquity line, Seymour Duncan aims for realism: a pickup that sounds "vintage" and looks the part too. The Texas Hot delivers the classic 50s-style single coil tone (snappy, chiming, and dynamic), while adding just the right amount of character to meet the expectations of today's guitarists, especially in the bridge position.
Who Is It For, and What For?
The Texas Hot Custom Bridge is designed for guitarists who find the Stratocaster bridge pickup too thin or too bright. Ideal for blues, vintage rock, funk, and roots, it provides more thickness and slightly boosted mids to help it "cut through" without losing the spank and sparkle typical of a single coil.
What Makes the "Custom Bridge" Version Different?
This bridge version is wound hotter than the neck and middle versions to increase versatility and overall instrument balance. The Alnico 2 pole pieces are aged to soften the high-end attack and reduce string pull, which enhances sustain. The pickup comes with a cloth push-back style lead for a clean installation, in the spirit of vintage setups. It is also lacquered and dipped in lamp black paraffin wax, just like pickups from the era.
