Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Strat Texas Hot Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Strat Texas Hot Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Texas Hot set delivers the bell-like articulation and harmonic richness of vintage single-coil design with modern output capability. These pickups respond immediately to pick attack and finger dynamics, revealing the full character of your instrument without excess noise. Built for players seeking authentic Strat voice with usable gain and clarity across all three positions—reliable workhorse tone for gigging and studio sessions alike.

Tone & Output Characteristics

The 9.8 DCR output across the neck and middle pickups provides balanced, articulate response typical of era-correct single coils, while the bridge pickup is wound hotter to cut through in lead playing without losing definition. Alnico 2 magnets paired with a staggered and raised magnet pattern preserve natural string-to-string dynamics and the transparent midrange that defines the Antiquity design. The RW/RP middle pickup hum-cancellation with the bridge ensures quiet operation when blending positions—essential for clean tone switching on stage.

Construction & Reliability

True single-coil design with cloth push-back cable and lamp black paraffin wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback while maintaining the tonal clarity of unwound bobbins. Height adjustment via 6/32 oval head Phillips screws allows precise pole-piece alignment to your string gauges and playing style, while the North polarity staggered magnets optimize output balance across all six strings. This robust construction handles the demands of frequent gigging without compromise.
