Seymour Duncan Antiquity Set For Strat

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Texas Hot pickups bring the unmistakable spank, chime, and warmth of a vintage Stratocaster, aged to perfection for that well-worn, broken-in feel. With custom degaussed Alnico 2 rod magnets, hand-applied relicing, and vintage-spec wax potting, these pickups deliver classic Strat tone with enhanced depth and sustain.

Authentic Vintage Strat Tone

The Antiquity Texas Hot Neck pickup produces the classic Strat sound—bright and spanky yet smooth and refined, thanks to its specially aged Alnico 2 rod magnets. This softens the treble attack, adding sweetness and warmth, perfect for both glassy cleans and driven blues tones.

Noise-Free ‘In-Between’ Positions

The middle pickup is reverse-wound, reverse-polarity (RW/RP), ensuring hum-free operation in positions 2 and 4. This means you get that legendary Strat "quack" without unwanted noise—ideal for funk, blues, and classic rock rhythm playing.

Enhanced Output in the Bridge

Traditional Strat bridge pickups can sound thin, but the Antiquity Texas Hot Custom Bridge is wound hotter for fuller mids, more sustain, and increased punch. It retains the spank and sparkle of vintage Strats while adding just enough extra output to cut through in a mix. Single notes remain articulate, and chords are harmonically rich, making this bridge pickup more versatile without sacrificing the classic Strat feel.

Hand-Aged for True Vintage Vibe

Each pickup is meticulously aged both cosmetically and magnetically to replicate decades of playing wear. The hand-worn Alnico 2 poles, specially aged covers, and lamp black paraffin wax potting ensure these pickups look, feel, and sound like the originals from the golden era of electric guitars.
