Description
Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup Set
The Antiquity P90 Soapbar set delivers the warm, woody character of classic P90 designs with a smooth, articulate response across the frequency spectrum. These hand-wound pickups are engineered to capture the vintage tone that defined electric guitar music from the 1950s onward, offering players authenticity without compromise. The cream-colored soapbar cover reinforces the period-correct aesthetic while the pickups themselves remain tonally transparent and responsive to your playing dynamics on stage and in the studio.
Tone & Design
Built with two specially calibrated Alnico 2 bar magnets, these pickups emphasize the natural resonance of your instrument while maintaining clarity across all registers. The hand-fabricated bobbin with plain enamel mag wire and flatback tape construction contributes to the organic, slightly compressed character that distinguishes vintage P90s from modern high-output designs. This tonal signature excels in jazz, blues, rock, and alternative genres where pickup response and sustain matter as much as raw output—essential for live gigs where you need consistent tone night after night.
Construction & Reliability
Each pickup is handmade in Santa Barbara, California using traditional winding techniques that ensure consistency and quality across the set. The pickups feature RW/RP (Reverse Wound/Reverse Polarity) configuration, which cancels hum when both are engaged for reliable performance in any venue, and they function as a drop-in replacement for most standard P90-sized routes, making installation straightforward for experienced technicians and minimizing downtime before your next show.
