Seymour Duncan

Seymour Duncan still remembers having his bandmates drive him to 8th Street Music in Philadelphia back in the '60s to buy his first Fender Mustang after seeing one played on TV. There’s nothing like the sound of a Mustang with its short-scale length, unique vibrato and customized pickups. The Antiquity II Mustang single-coil pickups deliver a tone that is springy and almost bouncy like a Strat, but with a honkier mid-range quality, and just the right amount of harmonic sparkle.

The specially calibrated Alnico 5 rod magnets will add a nice, natural sustain to your instrument, and Seymour Duncan uses the same diameter and height pole pieces as the originals. Hand built in their Custom Shop, the Antiquity II vintage Mustang single-coil pickup uses calibrated Alnico 5 rod magnets, vintage-correct light gray bottom flatwork, a custom coil wind with heavy formvar wire, cloth push-back lead wire, and each pickup is lacquered and wax potted.
