Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Duo-Sonic Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Duo-Sonic Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Duo-Sonic set delivers authentic vintage character with balanced output across neck and bridge positions, designed specifically for players seeking period-correct tone in offset body guitars. These hand-built pickups capture the warm, articulate voice of classic single-coil designs while maintaining the structural integrity and consistency that modern players expect. Built in Santa Barbara to exacting vintage specifications, this set is ideal for restoring or upgrading Fender Duo-Sonic models and compatible offset instruments.

Tone & Construction

The pairing of 6.4k neck and 6.5k bridge output produces a cohesive, balanced tonal response across both positions without excessive treble or muddiness. Alnico II rod magnets with custom heavy formvar wire and lacquered wax potting create the warm, slightly compressed character that defined vintage single-coil tone, while the construction method ensures reliability and low noise floor.

Specifications & Design

Proper-sized flat pole pieces extend slightly through the baseplate for optimal string response and magnetic coupling. The neck pickup is wound "top going" with North magnetic polarity while the bridge is wound "top coming" with South magnetic polarity, ensuring correct hum-cancellation characteristics when both pickups are engaged. Cloth push-back lead wire maintains vintage authenticity while withstanding modern installation demands.
