The new Antiquity Retrospec'd series pickups are the same Antiquity pickups you know and love, but are not aged, worn or tarnish - these look brand new! Perfect for players after that famous Seymour Duncan antiquity tone on a brand new, untouched guitar!
Capture the weathered midrange growl from the neck position of an original 59 ES-330 with our Antiquity P-90 Dog Ear. Our Antiquity P90 Dog Ear uses two specially calibrated alnico 2 bar magnets, and a custom coil wind to deliver the sweet, vintage correct growl of a late 50s ES-330 neck pickup. It is also wound RWRP to be hum-cancelling with a matching bridge position model. Chords are full and round sounding, and single notes have a sweet, bouncy quality. This pickup is a drop-in replacement for any standard Gibson P90 Dog Ear sized route and comes with a black cover.
At Seymour Duncan, we have a 40-year archive of data on pickup design, detailing every nuance, down to the smallest detail. This deep knowledge is what gives our legendary Antiquity pickups their authentic vintage tone.
The Antiquity line’s story goes back to the 1990s, a particularly unique time in guitar history. ‘Shred’ guitars were on a bit of a decline, and the vintage guitar market was huge. When they weren’t able to get their hands on the actual vintage guitars they coveted so dearly, guitarists began to relic their own instruments. So, Seymour created the Antiquities to give those guitarists the aged look, tone, and response of the pickups found in the instruments of the 50s and 60s that they so revered.
Because Seymour is so detail-oriented, our Antiquities had to be exactly like the originals, down to the finest details. Seymour pulled from his 40-plus-year archive of data on pickup design, with insight on every nuance, to ensure that every facet of the Antiquity pickups was authentic and vintage accurate. If player feedback and the thousands of guitarists around the world who rely on their Antiquities are any indication, we think Seymour nailed it.
What Seymour didn’t anticipate was how popular these pickups would become among guitarists playing newer guitars. We quickly began hearing from guitar builders and players around the world who wanted our Antiquity pickups with a new, pristine look, rather than an aged, relic’d look. So, we created the Antiquity Retrospec’d series – all the beloved Antiquity tone of yesteryear in a brand new, cosmetically non-aged look.
