Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Firebird Bridge Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Firebird Bridge Pickup delivers the vintage warmth and clarity that defined classic Firebird tone. This mini-humbucker sized pickup combines traditional construction with authentic voice, making it the ideal choice for players restoring or upgrading Firebird instruments seeking period-correct character for stage and studio.

Tone & Output

With 8.2K DC ohms and 3.75 henries inductance, this bridge pickup produces articulate, balanced output that captures the midrange definition and sustain synonymous with vintage Firebird guitars. The Alnico 5 magnet with 20–25 gauss strength and N/S calibration ensures natural breakup and responsive dynamics across the frequency spectrum, translating to clear note separation and reliable sustain under live pressure.

Built without wax potting for maximum resonance, the Antiquity II employs mini-humbucker geometry without adjustable pole pieces, favoring simplicity and tonal purity. Height adjustment is accomplished via a 3/8" round-head slotted screw, allowing fine-tuning of output and response without complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What genres and playing styles is this pickup designed for?

The Antiquity II excels in blues, rock, classic rock, and jazz. Its articulate midrange and balanced output make it less suitable for metal or djent styles that demand higher gain and tonal aggressiveness.

Is this pickup compatible with standard Firebird guitars?

Yes. The Antiquity II uses standard Firebird mounting with a 3-48 mounting screw and mounts with the original hardware. It fits any Firebird with a mini-humbucker cavity and requires no modification.

How do I adjust the height and output of this pickup?

Height adjustment is made via a 3/8 inch round-head slotted screw, allowing you to dial in output and response without complex pole-piece manipulation. This design prioritizes simplicity and tonal purity.

What makes the non-wax-potted construction important?

Non-wax potting maximizes resonance and lets the pickup vibrate more freely, enhancing the natural breakup and responsive dynamics that define its vintage character. This is key to its articulate, uncolored tone.

What skill level do I need to install this pickup?

This is an intermediate to professional installation. You should be comfortable desoldering and resoldering wires, removing the old pickup, and potentially shielding the cavity. Firebird mounting is straightforward once hardware is removed.

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.
