Seymour Duncan Antiquity II for Jaguar Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Jaguar set delivers authentically voiced single-coil character with modern construction techniques, engineered for gigging players who need period-correct tone with the reliability to take on stage night after night. These hand-wound pickups capture the offset guitar's natural chime and clarity while offering improved output and controlled feedback compared to original equipment.

Tone & Voicing

The matched pair—6.45k bridge and 6.51k neck pickup combination—produces the jangly, articulate response characteristic of classic Jaguar recordings. The heavy formvar mag wire and Alnico 5 rod magnets ground the tone in vintage authenticity while the neck pickup wound RWRP (reverse wound, reverse polarity) eliminates hum when both pickups are engaged together.

Live Performance & Build Quality

Seymour Duncan hand-winds these pickups in Santa Barbara, California using hand-ground magnets and lacquered and wax potting for durability and feedback control—critical for reliability in live venues and on the road. Each set drops directly into existing Fender Jaguar "claw" pickup covers as a direct replacement, though covers and claws are not included.

Key Features

  • 6.45k bridge and 6.51k neck pickup pair
  • Hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets
  • Custom coil wind with heavy formvar mag wire
  • Neck pickup wound RWRP for hum-canceling operation
  • Vintage-correct bottom gray flatwork and cloth push-back lead wire
  • Lacquered and wax potted construction
  • Direct replacement for Fender Jaguar "claw" pickup covers
  • Hand-made in Santa Barbara, California
  • Includes mounting screws and vintage "push back" cloth braid hookup wire

These pickups combine hand-wound authenticity with the reliability and noise control expected from modern Seymour Duncan construction, making them an ideal choice for Jaguar players looking for vintage tone they can trust in any venue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these pickups fit my Fender Jaguar?

Yes—these are a direct replacement for any Fender Jaguar with standard claw-style pickup covers. The set drops in without modification. Mounting screws are included; covers and claws are not.

What makes these sound different from original Jaguar pickups?

The Antiquity II uses hand-wound Alnico 5 rod magnets and formvar mag wire to nail the vintage chime and jangle, but adds higher output and controlled feedback through Seymour Duncan's lacquered and wax potting—something original single-coils lack. The RWRP neck pickup also cancels hum when both pickles are engaged together, eliminating a classic Jaguar problem.

Are these good for metal or hard rock?

No—these pickups are voiced for jangle pop, indie, and alternative rock with articulate single-coil clarity. They are not designed for the gain and sustain metal and hard rock demand.

What output level should I expect?

The bridge pickup is wound to 6.45k and the neck to 6.51k, delivering improved output over vintage Jaguar pickups while preserving single-coil character and clarity. This sits well between vintage authenticity and modern playability.

What is included in the set?

You get the matched bridge and neck pickup pair, mounting screws, vintage cloth push-back braid hookup wire, and installation schematics. Pickup covers and claw hardware are not included.
