Description
Seymour Duncan Retro Antiquity P90 Dog Ear Bridge Black Pickup
The Retro Antiquity P90 Dog Ear is a hand-crafted bridge pickup engineered to capture the warm, articulate vintage P90 character essential for classic rock, blues, and vintage-voiced sessions. Built using period-correct construction methods, this pickup delivers clarity and presence without the harshness of modern overwound designs, making it a go-to choice for tracking and mixing work that demands authentic P90 voicing in a straightforward drop-in replacement format.
Tone & Electronics
An 8.6 kΩ DC resistance and Alnico 2 magnets produce the responsive, slightly compressed response that defines classic P90 character in the studio—articulate highs cut through a mix, full midrange punch sits perfectly in the pocket, and natural breakup happens at real-world gain levels. The vintage output level pairs with the 2 bar magnet configuration for balanced response across all six strings without sacrificing definition, translating directly to clean tracking and predictable plugin processing in the DAW.
Design & Build
Hand-fabricated with a plain enamel magnet wire bobbin and flatback tape construction, this pickup authentically recreates the manufacturing standards of vintage instruments that shaped classic recordings. The dog ear cover in black finish is a direct drop-in replacement for standard Gibson P90 routes, requiring no modification to install—critical for session efficiency and maintaining instrument resale value.
