Seymour Duncan

collapse expand iconDescription

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Tele re-creates the beauty of an early '50s lead pickup Tele. Using vintage techniques, each pickup is hand-fabricated and scatter-wound. All parts of the pickup are aged and given the look of a pickup played for 40 years.

Like the originals, the ferrous bottom plates are not wax-potted for that "breakin'-up Tele twang tone" that's just on the verge of feedback. The pickups are Dun-Aged and come with mounting hardware, schematics, and tons of tone. The hookup wire is the classic "p back" cloth braid wire.

To some, this is craziness, intentionally creating an aged electrical component. But if you're like Seymour Duncan, and you appreciate the personal commitment and hand craftsmanship found in early electric guitars, then you'll want to capture that timeless beauty with an Antiquity pickup.

    I installed one of these in a 52 Esquire build. Very pleased with it's sound. I can't add enough positives for this pickup. Great clean, or when overdriving the tubes in all three of my amps. If You play classic Rock/Blues....You will love the Pup.

    Excellent pickup. I put it in a highway 1 Tele and it's tone is very similar to a pre CBS strat I have. It has a little more clarity and a bit brighter, but not quite as creamy. They are very close though. Highly satisfied
