Seymour Duncan Antiquity Bridge Pickup For Telecaster

Seymour Duncan Antiquity Bridge Pickup For Telecaster

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Bridge delivers the articulate, bell-like clarity that defined classic Telecaster tones. Hand-wound and potted in the traditional manner, this pickup captures the vintage character of early single-coil designs without the noise floor of authentic aged units. Players seeking authentic period-correct response with modern reliability will find this pickup performs as a direct bridge between vintage inspiration and playable consistency.

Tone & Electrical Character

Measuring 6.4K DC ohms with 2.1 henries of inductance, the Antiquity delivers a measured, controlled output that preserves note definition across the frequency spectrum. The Q factor of 2.05 ensures a smooth, natural roll-off that avoids harshness while maintaining the upper-midrange snap essential to Telecaster bridge-position voice.

Handmade Construction & Materials

Each unit is hand-wound and handmade in Santa Barbara, California using hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets with period-correct pole stagger. The pickup is wound top-coming with south polarity magnets, then lacquered and potted in lamp black paraffin wax using vintage-style cloth wire, ensuring consistent performance and resistance to microphonic feedback.
