What does reverse-wound, reverse-polarity construction do?

This winding configuration eliminates 60-cycle hum when the neck pickup is paired with a bridge position Antiquity P-90 model, delivering authentic vintage tone without single-coil noise interference. The design maintains period-correct performance while offering practical hum rejection in both stereo and live settings.

What genres and styles is this pickup best suited for?

How does this compare to a standard Gibson P-90 or other vintage-style pickups?

The Antiquity Dog Ear uses hand-fabricated construction with aged Alnico II magnets and period-correct materials to replicate the tonal character of decades-old guitars. Its 7.9K DC resistance and Q factor of 2.84 deliver the controlled resonance peak and singing quality that define authentic P-90 voice while maintaining consistent modern manufacturing precision.

What's included with this pickup?
