Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups interchangeably between Jazzmaster and Jaguar?
No. The Antiquity II is designed specifically for Jazzmaster offset construction and electronics, while the Antiquity for Jaguar is tailored for Jaguar specs and drops into existing Jaguar hardware without modification. Using them in the wrong guitar will result in poor fit and tonal mismatch.
What's the main tonal difference between Alnico 5 and Alnico II magnets?
Alnico 5 (Antiquity II) produces warmer, woodier tones with greater harmonic complexity, while Alnico II (Antiquity for Jaguar) delivers brighter, more articulate and cutting tones. Alnico II is characteristic of classic Jaguar voicing; Alnico 5 suits Jazzmaster warmth.
Do both sets include hum cancellation?
Yes. Both include reverse-wound neck pickups for hum cancellation when both pickups are engaged. The Antiquity for Jaguar adds reverse polarity for true hum-canceling performance, while the Antiquity II uses reverse winding for natural magnetic interaction.
Are these hand-built, or mass-produced?
The Antiquity II is hand-built in the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop with hand-ground magnets. The Antiquity for Jaguar uses calibrated Alnico II magnets and is hand-waxed potted, reflecting high-quality vintage-correct construction without full custom-shop hand-winding.
