Why choose Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 Dog Ear Black Pickup Set

  • ✓ Articulate, singing midrange with natural breakup suited to classic rock
  • ✓ Neck pickup higher resistance (8.52K) provides fatter neck position tone

Frequently asked questions

What's the main practical difference between these two Antiquity P90 sets?

The Soapbar has a hum-cancelling RW/RP wound neck pickup and both pickups measure 8.10K/8.52K ohms. The Dog Ear reverses this with the neck at 8.52K and bridge at 7.9K ohms, and adds visible aged dog ear covers instead of flush soapbar construction.

Which fits my guitar without routing or modification?

The Soapbar is designed for standard P90 soapbar cavities. The Dog Ear requires a guitar with dog ear P90 routing or covers to fit properly and look correct.

Will the Soapbar's hum-cancelling hurt the vintage tone I'm after?

No—Seymour Duncan's RW/RP winding on the Soapbar neck pickup reduces noise while preserving the core Antiquity P90 character. Both sets use identical Dun-Aged Alnico II magnets and hand-fabricated construction.

Which one has more output or a hotter neck pickup?

The Dog Ear has a hotter neck pickup (8.52K versus 8.10K on the Soapbar), making it fatter in the neck position. The Soapbar maintains more balanced output between positions.
