Description
Seymour Duncan Antiquity II for Telecaster Twang Pickup Set
The Antiquity II Telecaster Twang set captures the crystalline, articulate single-coil character essential for recording bright, cutting guitar tones that sit naturally in professional mixes. Hand-wound with period-authentic materials and Seymour Duncan's modern manufacturing precision, these pickups deliver the snappy transient response and natural harmonic complexity that makes Telecaster tones a go-to choice for studio tracking across genres—from country and rockabilly to indie and alternative production.
Tone & Construction for Studio Recording
Built with hand-ground Alnico 5 magnets, vintage push-back cloth wire, and period-correct pole stagger, these pickups produce an articulate midrange and bell-like treble that translates clearly to tape and digital recordings. Custom aging, gray bottom flatwork, brass-plated steel baseplate, and lacquer-and-wax potting create a tonally focused, noise-resistant platform that preserves clarity and definition across blended tracks, overdubs, and full-band sessions—critical for maintaining definition when layering guitars in a mix.
Specifications & Recording Performance
The bridge pickup (11024-33) delivers 6.6 kΩ DC resistance, while the neck pickup (11024-32) measures 7.9 kΩ, both tuned to vintage output for authentic dynamic response and natural breakup characteristics that capture the full harmonic range during session work. True single-coil construction with cloth push-back cabling ensures direct, uncolored signal transmission to your recording interface or preamp chain, preserving the complete tonal palette for mixing and post-production flexibility.
