Description
Seymour Duncan Antiquity Neck Pickup for Jazzmaster
The Antiquity Neck delivers the warm, articulate character of a true vintage Jazzmaster without the fragility of an original. Calibrated Alnico 2 magnets paired with cloth push-back winding produce smooth, singing tones that cut through without harshness—essential for players chasing that authentic offset guitar voice with modern reliability built in.
Tone & Characteristics
This neck pickup's 8.3K DC resistance and 4.2-henry inductance generate a balanced, bell-like resonance with natural compression and complex harmonic depth. The Q factor of 3.5 ensures controlled articulation and note separation, making it equally responsive for fingerstyle, clean passages, and light overdrive textures on stage or in the studio.
Construction & Specifications
Built with vintage-correct flatwork, lacquered and wax-potted construction, and reverse wound, reverse polarity (RWRP) configuration, the Antiquity resists microphonics while maintaining classic response. Height adjustment into the body allows fine-tuning of output and brightness to match your instrument's resonance characteristics and your gigging needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Antiquity and a stock Fender Jazzmaster neck pickup?
The Antiquity uses calibrated Alnico 2 magnets and wax-potted construction for consistency and microphonic resistance that original pickups lack, while delivering the same warm, bell-like tone and natural compression. It maintains vintage response but with modern engineering reliability.
Is this pickup suitable for high-gain or metal tones?
No—the Antiquity is designed for clean, warm, and articulate voices. It excels in jazz, indie, and vintage-tone applications but is not voiced for hard rock or metal where higher output and aggressive character are needed.
What skill level do I need to install this pickup?
Installation requires intermediate to advanced guitar electronics knowledge. You will need to desolder the old pickup, solder the Antiquity's cloth push-back hookup wire, and adjust pickup height into the body for tone matching. Consult a professional tech if you are uncomfortable with soldering.
Can I adjust the output and brightness after installation?
Yes—the pickup features height adjustment into the body, allowing you to fine-tune output and brightness to match your instrument's resonance characteristics after installation.
What are the exact dimensions and magnet specifications?
The pickup measures 3.530 inches long by 1.512 inches wide by 0.318 inches high, with a total magnet height of 0.471 inches. It uses calibrated Alnico 2 rod magnets with 8.3K DC resistance and 4.2 henries inductance.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies.
