An "Antiquity" Pickup Designed for Old School Enthusiasts
The Antiquity Duo-Sonic was designed as a high-end upgrade for a vintage Duo-Sonic, a modern reissue, or any project seeking an expressive and nuanced single coil. The Antiquity series philosophy emphasizes dynamic response, natural attack, and a deliberately "vintage" aesthetic to immediately give the impression of a well-played instrument.
Who Is This Neck Pickup For?
If you are looking for a neck pickup that remains clear with effects, modulations, or light overdrive, the AN3401 checks all the boxes: clarity, balance, and musicality. It is well suited for styles where character is desired without excessive compression (indie, surf, garage, rock, jazz), and for guitarists who use volume and pick attack to sculpt their tone.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Seymour Duncan AN3401 compatible with a Duo-Sonic?
This neck pickup uses a flat pole piece pattern suited to the Duo-Sonic format to maintain a balanced output across the strings. It can be installed in a vintage Duo-Sonic, a modern reissue, or a project using this format.
What tone does the Alnico 2 magnet provide in the neck position?
The Alnico 2 magnets and the 6.4 kOhm DC resistance promote a dynamic response with a natural attack. The design aims for an expressive single-coil sound, clear with modulation effects or light overdrive.
Is the pickup delivered with a cover?
The black finish comes without a cover, exposing the pickup pole pieces directly.
What wiring is fitted on this neck pickup?
A 2-conductor push-back cloth wire is installed for straightforward wiring. When paired with the bridge pickup from the same series, the opposite polarity and winding direction provide a quieter middle position.
How is this Antiquity pickup manufactured?
The pickup is handmade at the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop in California. The winding uses Formvar wire. The pickup is lacquered and then wax potted.
