Description
Seymour Duncan Antiquity JB/Jazz Set Zebra Pickup
The Antiquity JB/Jazz Set captures the harmonic richness and dynamic response of vintage humbuckers through authentic construction methods and materials. Built for recording engineers and producers tracking guitars that demand period-correct tonal character, this zebra-coil set delivers thick, warm fundamentals with articulate string definition that translates clearly through the mix across both rhythm and lead positions.
Vintage Construction & Materials for Authentic Tone
These pickups employ long-legged nickel silver bottom plates, maple spacers, and rough sand cast Alnico 5 bar magnets alongside heavily aged butyrate bobbins to achieve the electrical and acoustic properties of vintage-era pickups. The vintage style push-back braided single conductor lead wire completes the construction, ensuring tracking sessions and reamped recordings maintain the resonant character and organic compression inherent to classic humbucker designs.
Studio Specification & Installation
Supplied as a matched humbucker pair with 14" cable length for each pickup, the set includes aged screws and springs for complete installation into existing guitar electronics. The passive design integrates directly into standard wiring with no additional circuitry or modifications required, allowing quick instrument swaps during tracking or multitrack sessions.
