Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker - Set - Nickel Unaged Retrospec’d - Electric Guitar Pickup

Experience the tone, feel, and character of vintage pickups with Seymour Duncan’s Antiquity and Antiquity II series. Built in the Custom Shop and aged by hand, these pickups use Alnico magnets, vintage-correct bobbins, and scatter-wound coils to recreate the harmonically rich voice of 1950s PAF humbuckers and 1960s Firebird mini-humbuckers. Whether you choose the classic Humbucker set or the distinct Firebird model, you’ll get warm mids, articulate highs, and the broken-in resonance of a true vintage original—without the boutique price tag.

• The original boutique vintage humbucker pickups to make your Les Paul look vintage and sound priceless. The Antiquity neck humbucker delivers an articulate, yet mellow tone that results from a perfectly balanced frequency response that combines a soft, sweet treble attack with a warm, full sounding low end.
• The custom aged Alnico 2 bar magnet creates an airy openness to the top-end that gives chords clarity and articulation, while the vintage output coils really bring out the rich harmonic content. Single notes have a beautiful singing quality with just the right amount of treble emphasis.
• The Antiquity bridge humbucker delivers that open, airy tone of the great “P.A.F.” humbuckers that Seth Lover designed in 1955. High notes cut through without being overly bright, and low notes growl with spongy vintage warmth. We wind the bridge model a little hotter for better balance and added warmth, and, as with the neck model, we use the same custom hand-aging process to create an authentic vintage look and sound.
• Handmade in Santa Barbara, California: Seymour Duncan takes pride in designing and crafting our products to create the most amazing sound possible. That starts with providing an environment that attracts and retains our great team of engineers, product designers and craftsmen, many of whom have been with the company for decades.
