Seymour Duncan Antiquity Strat Texas Hot Pick Up Neck

Give your Stratocaster the warm, bell-like chime of a priceless vintage instrument with the Seymour Duncan Antiquity Texas Hot pickups. Designed to deliver the spanky, articulate tones of classic '50s and '60s Strat pickups, these are meticulously aged to provide the perfect balance of clarity, warmth, and grit—just like a well-played, decades-old pickup.

Classic Strat Tone with a Vintage Touch

The Antiquity Texas Hot Neck captures that unmistakable Strat sparkle, with a smooth yet dynamic response. The hand-aged Alnico 2 rod magnets have been specially degaussed to soften the treble attack, delivering a sweeter, rounder tone that avoids harshness. Whether you're playing clean, overdriven, or fully cranked, this pickup delivers an expressive and nuanced sound that feels alive under your fingers.

Noise-Free ‘In-Between’ Tones

The middle pickup is reverse-wound, reverse-polarity (RW/RP) for hum-canceling operation in positions 2 and 4. This means you get that signature Strat "quack" without the annoying 60-cycle hum, making it perfect for funk, blues, and classic rock rhythm playing.

Enhanced Output in the Bridge Position

Where many vintage-style Strat bridge pickups sound thin or overly bright, the Antiquity Texas Hot Custom Bridge is slightly overwound to give it a fuller, punchier tone. This subtle boost in output adds thicker mids and increased sustain, making your solos cut through the mix without sacrificing vintage character. Single notes sound bold and articulate, while chords remain rich and harmonically complex.

Authentic Aging for True Vintage Vibe

Each pickup in the Antiquity Texas Hot set has been carefully aged both magnetically and cosmetically to replicate the sound and look of a well-worn vintage Strat pickup. The covers, pole pieces, and bobbins are all hand-treated to simulate the smoke, sweat, and grime that naturally accumulates over decades of playing. They are also lacquered and wax-potted using lamp black paraffin wax, just like the originals from the golden era of electric guitars.
