Seymour Duncan Antiquity 2 Jet Bridge Pickup For Jaguar
The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Jet Bridge captures the warm, articulate character that defined Jaguar bridge pickups in the early 1960s. Hand-wound and meticulously calibrated, this pickup records with clarity and sustain that rewards careful playing technique and translates beautifully across tracking sessions. Built for producers and engineers who prioritize period-correct tone and authentic construction in their signal chain.
Tone & Electronics
At 6.8K DC ohms with 3 henries of inductance and a Q factor of 3.1, this pickup produces the focused, slightly compressed response characteristic of early Jaguar bridge units. The hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets paired with heavy formvar magnet wire deliver articulate highs and controlled lows without excessive brightness, making it equally effective for surf textures and rhythm tracking.
Construction & Specification
Every element reflects vintage Jaguar orthodoxy: vintage-correct bottom gray flatwork, cloth push-back lead wire, and lacquered and wax potting for durability. The raised top and bottom magnet pattern with south polarity ensures proper interaction with matched neck pickups, while into-body height adjustment allows fine-tuning of output balance within your mix.
