Seymour Duncan Antiquity II for Strat Surfer Pickup Set

Yes. The Antiquity II Surfer set is a three-pickup Stratocaster configuration with passive wiring and vintage-correct blue/yellow cloth pushback lead wire, designed for straightforward drop-in compatibility with any standard Strat harness. No modification to your existing electronics is required.

Yes. The middle pickup uses reverse wind/reverse polarity (RW/RP) configuration, which hum-cancels in the middle positions (2 and 4) while preserving the single-coil character across all five pickup selections.

The Antiquity II Surfer set is ideal for blues, rock, indie, and country playing. They excel at delivering warm, articulate vintage tone with organic breakup and are not recommended for metal or djent styles.

The neck and middle pickups are 6.50k ohms while the bridge is 9.80k ohms, providing balanced output levels that integrate seamlessly into existing wiring. This range ensures consistent response across all three positions while maintaining the compressed, punchy character of original 1960s designs.

Yes, they are hand-built in Seymour Duncan's Custom Shop and aged to replicate 1960s originals. They feature Alnico 5 rod magnets, lacquered and wax-potted construction for vintage reliability, delivering era-appropriate voice with the consistency of modern manufacturing.
