What's included and how does it install?

The pickup is a direct drop-in replacement for any standard Gibson P-90 dog ear sized route—no modification needed. It ships ready to solder into your wiring harness and includes the aged thermoformed black cover.

Does this pickup eliminate hum?

Yes, when paired with the Antiquity Dog Ear P-90 bridge model. This neck pickup is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity, which cancels 60-cycle hum in stereo configurations while maintaining the authentic warm P-90 tone without sacrificing single-coil character.

What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?

The Antiquity Dog Ear P-90 excels in blues, jazz, rock, funk, and indie music. Its warm, woody midrange and smooth sustain work best for players seeking vintage tone; it is not recommended for metal or djent styles that require high output and aggressive edge.

How does this compare to other P-90 options?

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity uses hand-fabricated construction with aged Alnico II magnets and period-correct materials to reproduce the tonal character of vintage guitars. Comparable models include the Gibson P-90, Lindy Fralin P-90, and Lollar Imperial P-90; this pickup delivers balanced, articulate response (7.9K ohms) with a controlled resonance peak rather than excessive compression.

What are the exact dimensions and specifications?

Pickup dimensions are 3.158 inches length × 1.205 inches width × 0.640 inches height; cover dimensions are 4.645 inches length × 1.60 inches width × 0.315 inches height. DC resistance is 7.9K ohms, inductance is 6.85 henries, and Q factor is 2.84.

Seymour Duncan Antiquity Dog Ear P-90 Neck Pickup

The Antiquity Dog Ear P-90 captures the warm, woody midrange and smooth sustain that defines vintage P-90 designs, using aged components to reproduce the tonal character of well-played instruments. This neck position model is wound reverse-wound/reverse-polarity to achieve hum cancellation when paired with the bridge position equivalent, eliminating the 60-cycle hum typical of single-coil designs during recording and live tracking. Hand-fabricated construction and period-correct materials ensure this pickup performs as a direct drop-in replacement for any standard Gibson P-90 dog ear route, making it production-ready out of the box.

Tone & Electronics

With a measured DC resistance of 7.9K ohms and inductance of 6.85 henries, this pickup produces a balanced, articulate response that sits naturally in a mix without excessive output compression. The Q factor of 2.84 indicates a controlled resonance peak that yields the smooth, singing character P-90s deliver for recording, avoiding harsh peaks or thin articulation that can complicate overdub work.

Design & Construction

Two specially calibrated Dun-Aged Alnico II magnets are mounted to a precision metal spacer with six fillister head pole pieces, paired with a hand-fabricated bobbin wound with plain enamel magnet wire and flatback tape. The aged thermoformed black cover maintains vintage aesthetics while the top-going winding direction with north magnet polarity and reverse-wound/reverse-polarity construction ensures hum rejection during multi-take recording sessions.
