Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup Set

The Antiquity P90 Soapbar set delivers the warm, woody character of classic P90 designs with a smooth, articulate response across the frequency spectrum. These hand-wound pickups are engineered to capture the vintage tone that defined electric guitar music from the 1950s onward, making them ideal for recording sessions and mixing applications where authenticity and tonal clarity matter. The cream-colored soapbar cover reinforces the period-correct aesthetic while the pickups themselves remain tonally transparent and responsive to playing dynamics, translating nuanced performance into your recordings.

Tone & Design

Built with two specially calibrated Alnico 2 bar magnets, these pickups emphasize the natural resonance of the instrument while maintaining clarity across all registers. The hand-fabricated bobbin with plain enamel mag wire and flatback tape construction contributes to the organic, slightly compressed character that distinguishes vintage P90s from modern high-output designs. This tonal signature sits naturally in jazz, blues, rock, and alternative sessions where pickup response and sustain yield articulate layering and dimensional mixes without sacrificing musicality for sheer output.

Construction & Compatibility

Each pickup is handmade in Santa Barbara, California using traditional winding techniques that ensure consistency and quality across the set. The pickups feature RW/RP (Reverse Wound/Reverse Polarity) configuration, which cancels hum when both are engaged—essential for clean recording paths and monitoring—and they function as a drop-in replacement for most standard P90-sized routes, enabling straightforward installation and quick session setup.
