- Don't let the name fool you: the '60s Surfer™ pickup would be equally comfortable in the smoky clubs of Chicago's West Side as hanging ten at the Malibu Pier. The Antiquity II Surfer is hailed by many members of the Seymour Duncan User Group Forum as the ultimate pickup for vintage Strat® chime and quack. Whether you play Blues, West Side Soul, Surf, or Jangle Pop, the Surfer has the sweet highs and percussive lows to give you and your Strat a Free Ride on the Way Back Machine without sacrificing output or versatility.

This is prob the best bridge tone I've heard on a single coil
It's easily the best bridge pickup I've ever played and I've been playing Strats for about 20 years. When I first tried the surfers a few years ago, I was absolutely blown away, especially the bridge. It's just perfectly tuned with the right amount of power without sacrificing the inherent chime that we want in a strat tone. But because of the output being higher than a typical single coil, it still rips through an overdriven amp. Love these pickups.
Great playing and sounds, but clearly so much processing done to the recording. Compression, stereo effects etc. A bit overboard for a pickup demo IMHO
Crossed my mind, but you do get a solid representation of how the pickup sounds
I4ve the neck and RW/RP middle in my strat and this demo was sound accurate to my ear
They have a somewhat "scooped" sound 3:00 for exemple
Its so hard to decide... there is so many option ...!
For exemple maybe the Antiquity Texas would sound better on my strat..... v_v
All I can say is when you get the box you feel like you bought some nice pickup :) :)
@@Aniki82 Yea I had to shell out for another strat so I can have Surfs in one and Texas hot in other's neck, with SSL1 in middle and Quarter Pound in bridge. Basicly sacraficed all other non essentials to have my tone lol.
you can tell these are good when the bridge pickup actually sounds good on a strat for once. Thanks for not piercing my ears ;)
That is easily cured by making sure the bridge is hooked up to a tone control! I have my SSS strats set up with s master tone and use to tone 2 as a bridge & neck blend pot.
ASAC Schrader that’s because you have to adjust the height correctly and turn the tone knob down almost half or more on normal strats most of the time. The bridge pickup on a strat is often the more output and you set your amp for the neck one probably. Also personnally I really prefer the sound of a strat with fuzz than with overdrive. Those guitars have a lot to offer stock but it’s a real pain learning to use them right😂😂😂😂 most people don’t even know the telecaster were intended to be played with half the volume or tone down I don’t remember wich one😂😂😂🤷♂️
Also, most people keep 9's and 10's on their strats. Way bright combination for tone, but I see the appeal because it makes playing and bending super easy. But throw 11's or higher on a strat, and it becomes a mean sounding guitar.
I've got these in my chambered, rosewood board strat, they are sublime
That P2 quack is worth the price of admission alone.
This guy is an awesome guitar player
Thank you!
The middle position sounds amazing
now THIS is how pickup demos should be done! oh, and these pups sound fantastic!
At least he is in tune i have lost count of how many pickup demoes i have heard
where the guitar is clearly out of tune funny thing is they seem oblivious to it.
Man, is he playing through a Roland JC-120, or some sort of simulation plug-in?
Installed them a few days ago and I love them more and more every time I play. exactly the tone I hear in my head . good bye fender N3 p/u
+Dreamz 303 Rawr! Oh yeah!
Are the glassy?
Great demonstration and really, really great playing! I think I’m sold on these pickups!
Can you do/upload more surfer pickup videos please? Why’s this the only SD demo I can find!!! Sad bc these pups rock :’(((
I still prefer the 60's Seymour Duncan Psychadelic Pickups ( just a matter of taste ). Both Sound Great, but these seem slightly Thinner.
Love the Dick Dale inspired stuff in the middle of the vid!
Agree, I like these for my weird London/Chicago Blues (Yes, I'm a product of the mid 60's British Blues Invasion and worked with Mike Vernon at Decca in London.. Actually, Seymour, you just reminded me that I need a set. Best, Pete.
Love Duncan pickups, I have a set of these. But there is WAY too much processing done to the sound on Duncan’s demo videos. Please stop doing this. A set of Surfers straight into an amp is NEVER going to give you the sounds you hear in this video.
I'm trying to hear the pickups not damn backing track.
Very sweet sounding. I like. Not usually one for strats but I'd go for one if it had this tone.
+Zidders Roofurry Wow, I did not expect to find a torchlight mod here... its a very small world.
ExplodingBody I'm not a mod. Just a fan who spends way too much time on the forum and has helped out in the past. :)
@@ZiddersRooFurry Dweebs.
@@C-Stanz lol yep. Problem? lol
Damn, they sound better than stock pups in my 93' Fender Standard mim strat.
Is that a surprise? lol
Great playing and fantastic tone 👍🏼
Best strat set i 've ever played..and i've played with lots of them..
I agree. About as close to a late 50s / early 60s strat sound as you can possibly get without having the real things.. And without the worry of the pickups having lost their magnetism or being microphonic in any way from age degredation. There's just not a bad sound in these pickups; they've got some serous mojo. And I've always felt that when it comes to guitar pickups, you really do get what you pay for. These are no exception, best SC's I've ever used and I've also used a lot.
Sounds great. MIM Strat even!
Where it was made has nothing to do with it.
It’s all in theelectronics
Having a hard time deciding whether to get the Texas hot antiquity or these. I think the Texas hot is more my taste.
why everyone still does that damn higher 3rd string pole pickup??
Nails the Chili peppers and Pearl jam tones
I'm thinking of putting these in the middle with a twang banger in the bridge and alnico II pro staggered in neck. Either that or surfers in the neck and middle with the twang banger in bridge - made so much easier with the byop pguard.
A friend of mine is selling me a franken Strat a Squier body with Fender neck and SD Antiquity II pickups installed for 150€ and thinking of getting it, cause only the pickups cost 300€ alone.
I'm looking at the fender '61 pickup...sounds like a proper strat. Anyone have these 2 different sets of pickups for a comparison?
awesome sound and playing. what amp was used? any effects, other than delay in some areas?
Is this Pescado Rabioso Cementario Club?
I just installed this my strat, im feeling this awesome pick up's output level is less than normal single coil. Was it intentional for vintage sound?
Under wound sounds better unless you are trying to play high gain in which case why are you playing single coil
A shame that a very big part of the video were played on the bridge PU. It sounded very good, but I seldom use anything else than the neck PU.
i love this sound, what is Signal Chain?
Incredible I love them!
I see the surfer is a bit more twangy than texas hot, I wonder if we can combine the two sets, anybody has any idea?
Different polarity for the surfer and texas hot, be careful mixing them.
VS Antiquity Texas Hot set. Can we see or more important hear it?
Very nice sound
How does the Custom bridge in the surfers compare to the SSL-5? I have an SSL-5, and I love it but I think it could use a tad more bite, while still retaining some higher output.
that 'don't be afraid of the dark' -sound
I'm debating between these, the Texas Hots, Psychedelic and Jimi Set for a SRV tone, what would you recommend me?
The Texas Hots would be my choice...a little overwound for that Texas sound.
@@seymourduncanWhich pickups for a RHCP or J_hn tone?
Can you neme a pick thats good playing the blues on a start
through a fender blues delux res amp
Any of our vintage output single coils will work.. SSL-1, Antiquity II Surfers, Antiquity Texas Hots, APS-1, and SSL-2.
They sound like the Fender (Mexican) Classic series pups. Perhaps a bit glassier.
Would rather not hear a background track. Trying to hear the pickups, not a song.
SSL-1 California '50s or this ? ( Without worrying about money)
+Raone Souza The Surfers are a little softer in the high end, which I like in my Strat pickups, but really it is up to you. You can directly compare them on our new website (using identical sound clips).
+Seymour Duncan Thank you so much!
+Raone Souza My vote will be for the Surfers in all three positions. SSL-1's are great, but I have been playing Surfers for 4-ish years now, and I fall in love with the sound every time. The bridge is a little hot, and the high end is a tad softer, but still carries a great vintage vibe. Just my $0.02.
+Robert Taylor
It looks really good, I love the early '60s sound. Thanks for the info, I'll get the Surfers Set to replace my CS Fat '50s.
i love steve's playing! does he have his own channel? these sound ace btw! i'm guessing the guitar is shielded, as it's so hum-free
LOL......member of the Seymour Duncan User Group. That is hysterical. This sounds like a middle of the road pickup. Missing some highs and some lows. Highly questionable from this video if this is better than a Fender 57/62 (which I think is a poor pickup).
playing all them riffs and scales but not a single surf type of sound
Eddie M. Like they said in the beginning, this isn't specifically a surf pickup. Also, towards the end it gets more surfy.
listen again... (".)
@3:26 says otherwise.
This guy didn't bother listening to the whole video lol
play the pickups not the effects
So you mean to tell me that this demo didn't use the "Custom Bridge" pickup? You're kidding!!! no?
It starts on the custom bridge
really average playing and demo limited player SD should have better these things are not cheap will carry on looking for good demo of pickups
AND YOU NEVER PLAY SURF.
3:28?
