The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker Pickup Set are authentically aged vintage humbucker pickups that deliver the aesthetic and tone of the most elusive vintage PAF humbuckers.

The neck humbucker delivers an articulate, yet mellow tone that results from a perfectly balanced frequency response, with a soft, sweet treble attack and a warm, full sounding low end. The custom aged alnico 2 bar magnet creates an airy openness to the top end that gives chords clarity and articulation, while the vintage output coils really bring out the rich harmonic content. Single notes have a beautiful singing quality with just the right amount of treble emphasis. The bridge humbucker delivers that open, airy tone of the great P.A.F. humbuckers that Seth Lover designed in 1955, high notes cut through without being overly bright and low notes growl with spongy vintage warmth. The bridge is wound a little hotter for better balance and added warmth.

Each Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker is built in their Custom Shop and aged both cosmetically and magnetically to simulate the wear and tear that a pickup goes through after decades of playing. The mould used for the butyrate bobbins was created by the same factory that built the original PAF mould for Gibson, it uses specially manufactured 42 AWG plain enamel magnet coil wire, nickel silver cover, 2.5" alnico 2 bar magnet, custom machined metal spacer & maple spacer, single conductor push back braided hookup wire and a nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs. Staying true to the original Gibson PAF these humbuckers are not wax potted which takes you right to the edge of harmonic breakup. For that unmistakable vintage mojo, these are wound on Seymour's original Leesona winding machine from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo.
