Description
Seymour Duncan Antiquity Custom Bridge Pickup For Strat
The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Custom Bridge captures the warm, articulate midrange and natural breakup characteristic of vintage Stratocaster recordings, with slightly hotter output than traditional single coils. Built with Alnico 2 magnets and staggered, raised pole pieces, this pickup responds organically to pick dynamics and finger pressure, translating expressive playing into authentic vintage character that modern pickups often miss—essential for home studio tracking where tonal nuance directly impacts your final mix.
Tone & Output Characteristics
Rated at 10.10k resistance with vintage output, this bridge pickup balances clarity and presence without sacrificing the bell-like treble that sits perfectly in recording sessions. The staggered and raised magnet pattern ensures balanced string response across all six strings while maintaining the pickup's sensitivity to subtle playing nuances—critical for capturing natural dynamics during overdubs and layering.
Construction & Materials
Hand-crafted in the USA with a specially aged vintage "push back" cloth braid hookup wire and period-correct cover, every component reflects Seymour Duncan's commitment to authenticity. The true single-coil design with north-pole magnet orientation and calibrated winding delivers the unmistakable Strat voice that records with clarity and presence, enabling you to capture tracks that age well in the mix without requiring aggressive EQ correction.

Is this pickup hot enough for a band setting, or will it get lost in the mix?
