A Key Piece in the "Antiquity II" Range
The Antiquity II series is designed to recreate the response and tone of vintage instruments, with a pickup that sounds immediately "played," rich in harmonics and dynamics. In the bridge position, the AN3436 targets that typical Jazzmaster snap so appreciated for precise rhythms and melodic lines that remain defined even with effects and generous reverb.
Who Is It For and Which Styles?
This pickup is aimed at guitarists who want to recapture the Jazzmaster identity : an expressive treble, present mids without heaviness, and a very responsive pick attack. It excels in Surf (attack and brightness), but remains very musical in Blues and Rock once you push the amp: the sound stays open, with great note separation for complex chords.
Designed for Bridge "Snap" and Vintage Clarity
The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II JM Bridge combines Alnico 5 magnets and a specific winding to achieve a fast response and that characteristic crystalline tone. The Custom Shop manufacturing emphasizes "old school" details like plain enamel wire, a construction inspired by vintage Jazzmasters, as well as a cloth push-back cable. Paired with an Antiquity II JM RWRP neck pickup, you can get a quieter middle position (hum cancellation) while retaining the single coil character.
