Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output level and will it work with my amp?
The neck and middle pickups measure 9.8 DCR with balanced output, while the bridge is wound hotter for lead cut. This moderate output pair well with tube or solid-state amps across all volume levels, from clean blues tones to driven rock without requiring extreme gain settings.
Does this set eliminate hum when using multiple pickups?
Yes. The middle pickup is reverse-wound and reverse-polarity (RW/RP), which cancels hum when blended with the neck or bridge pickup, ensuring quiet operation across all three positions.
How do these pickups compare to stock Fender Strat pickups?
The Antiquity Texas Hot balances authentic vintage character with modern clarity and output. Compared to stock pickups, these offer increased articulation, controlled noise, and a hotter bridge for better live cut—while maintaining the transparent midrange and bell-like tone that defines the classic Strat voice.
Will these pickups fit my Stratocaster?
These are true single-coil Stratocaster pickups for 6-string instruments with standard Strat routing. They use 6/32 oval head Phillips screws for height adjustment, allowing you to dial in the perfect distance for your string gauges and playing style.
