Description
Seymour Duncan Antiquity II ADJ Mini-humbucker Neck Pickup
The Antiquity II ADJ delivers the warm, articulate character of a vintage mini-humbucker with modern adjustability. Its compact form factor and aged nickel silver cover make it ideal for players seeking classic tone in instruments with space constraints, particularly Fender offset bodies and other compact guitar designs.
Tone & Electronics
Alnico 2 bar magnets calibrated to 15/20 gauss paired with a 6.7K ohm DC resistance and 3.22 henry inductance produce the articulate, dynamic response characteristic of vintage mini-humbuckers—clear highs without harshness, with smooth midrange definition. The non-wax-potted construction preserves natural resonance, allowing the pickup's full frequency response to develop without artificial damping.
Design & Build
The adjustable pole piece design with 3/8" round-head slotted screws lets you dial in output balance across individual strings, a critical feature for compensating neck positioning and string-to-magnet proximity. Custom-aged nickel silver covers and a single conductor braided shield cable ensure durability while maintaining the vintage aesthetic and minimizing electromagnetic interference.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guitar models will this pickup fit?
The Antiquity II ADJ is a mini-humbucker designed for compact guitar bodies including Fender Jazzmasters, Jaguars, and other offset designs with space constraints. Its dimensions are 1.086" wide by 2.577" long by 0.842" maximum height, with a mounting ring measuring 3.365" length. Always verify mounting compatibility with your guitar's existing cavity before ordering.
Can I adjust the output on individual strings?
Yes, the adjustable pole piece design with 3/8" round-head slotted screws allows you to fine-tune output balance across individual strings, compensating for neck positioning and string-to-magnet proximity variations. This is a key feature for dialing in consistent response in a neck position where bridge-to-nut distance can affect pickup performance.
What tone should I expect from this pickup?
The Alnico 2 bar magnets calibrated to 15/20 gauss paired with 6.7K ohm resistance deliver warm, articulate tone with clear highs, smooth midrange definition, and dynamic response. The non-wax-potted construction preserves natural resonance without artificial damping, producing the authentic vintage character of classic mini-humbuckers without harshness.
How does this compare to the original Seymour Duncan Antiquity Mini-humbucker?
The Antiquity II ADJ builds on the original with a modern adjustable pole piece design that lets you compensate for individual string output and proximity variations. The specs and tone character remain true to vintage mini-humbucker character, but the adjustability gives you hands-on control not available in the original model.
Is this pickup suitable for metal or high-gain styles?
No, this pickup is voiced for jazz, blues, indie, and classic rock—genres that benefit from its warm, articulate, and smooth tone. It is not designed for metal or djent applications where higher output and aggressive voicing are required.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $12 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
