Seymour Duncan Antiquity JB Model Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan Antiquity JB Model Zebra Pickup

The Antiquity JB captures the thick, articulate character of a classic 1970s bridge humbucker through authentic materials and construction methods that defined the era. Hand-built using vintage components and aged butyrate bobbins, this pickup delivers the warm, naturally compressed vintage tone that sits perfectly in dense mixes while maintaining definition and clarity. It's engineered for recording sessions and studio work where genuine vintage resonance adds character without sacrificing the note definition needed in the bridge position.

Tone & Vintage Construction for Tracking

Built with a rough sand cast alnico 5 bar magnet and heavily aged butyrate bobbins, this pickup exhibits the natural compression and harmonic complexity of period-correct 1970s design. The maple spacer and long legged nickel silver bottom plate contribute to focused midrange articulation and sustained note definition that cuts through dense mixes without sounding thin. This tonal balance makes it ideal for capturing bridge position recordings that require both vintage character and modern clarity on playback.

Electronics & Specifications

A DC resistance of 16.6 kOhm positions this pickup in the classic hot humbucker range—providing enough output for clean headroom and dynamic response during recording sessions while remaining sensitive to pick dynamics and touch. The vintage style push-back braided single conductor lead wire and 14" cable length accommodate standard bridge pickup installations with period-appropriate wiring flexibility, simplifying integration into studio setups.
