Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 Soapbar Black Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 Soapbar Black Pickup Set

The Antiquity P90 Soapbar set delivers the warm, woody character of vintage P90s with modern reliability and consistency. Hand-fabricated with Dun-Aged Alnico II magnets and plain enamel wire, these pickups capture the smooth, slightly compressed midrange and natural breakup that defined classic P90 tone. Built for players seeking authentic vintage response without the unpredictability of original-era pickups—ideal for gigging musicians and players who demand dependable tone night after night.

Tone & Magnetic Character

The neck pickup measures 8.10K DC Ohms with 6.85 henries inductance, while the bridge sits at 8.52K DC Ohms with 7.41 henries inductance—a balanced pairing that preserves the P90's natural compression and vocal midrange on stage. The neck model is wound RW/RP for hum-cancelling capability, reducing noise without sacrificing the core vintage tone—critical for live performance where ambient hum can undermine your signal chain.

Construction & Materials

Each pickup features two specially calibrated Dun-Aged Alnico II magnets mounted to a precision metal spacer with six fillister head pole pieces, combined with hand-fabricated bobbins and flatback tape construction. The magnet height of 0.125" and total pickup height of 0.640" ensure proper soapbar fit and clearance in standard P90 cavities, guaranteeing hassle-free installation and rock-solid mechanical reliability.
