Seymour Duncan Antiquity II for Strat Surfer Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Surfer Strat Pickup Set

The Antiquity II Surfer pickups deliver the warm, articulate character of 1960s Fender single-coils with enhanced output and clarity. Hand-built in Seymour Duncan's Custom Shop, these aged pickups respond with organic breakup and vintage sustain, giving you the authentic vintage tone that cuts through on stage without sacrificing modern playability and consistency across gigs.

Tone & Vintage Authenticity

Constructed with Alnico 5 rod magnets and lacquered, wax-potted coils, the Antiquity II Surfer set produces the compressed, punchy response characteristic of original 1960s designs. The RW/RP middle pickup configuration (reverse wind/reverse polarity) hums-cancels in positions 2 and 4, eliminating 60-cycle noise while preserving single-coil character across all pickup selections—essential for live venues where hum rejection matters without trading away that classic Strat voice.

Electronics & Installation

The passive configuration with vintage-correct blue/yellow cloth pushback lead wire ensures straightforward drop-in compatibility with any standard Stratocaster harness. DC resistance values span 6.50k (neck and middle) to 9.80k (bridge), providing balanced output levels that integrate seamlessly into existing wiring without modification—no tech work required to get them live-ready.
