Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbuckers

  • Each Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker is built in our Custom Shop and aged both cosmetically and magnetically to simulate the wear and tear that a pickup goes through after decades of playing. The mold we use for our butyrate bobbins was created by the same factory that built the original PAF mold for Gibson. Other key features include our specially manufactured 42AWG plain enamel mag-wire, nickel silver cover, 2.5-inch alnico 2 bar magnet, custom machined metal spacer & maple spacer, single conductor push-back braided lead wire, and 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, we wind every Antiquity humbucker on Seymour’s original Leesona winding machine from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI. Every bottom plate & bar magnet is signed by Seymour to guarantee that you are getting an original Seymour Duncan Antiquity.

    best demo i have ever seen. diverse playing styles, techniques, amps, gain stages. no bullshit blues shred. very refreshing and i mean come on...the production quality is just stupid good. marketing gets a bonus for this one.

      Totally agree! These videos are among the best - if not the best - out there. They are inspirational, for sure, and I've probably sought out SD pickups I wouldn't have really thought about buying before. Good stuff!

  • @martyrs5517

    I put these pickups in my 1990 Heritage H157. What a magical transformation! It's the greatest sounding LP ever. This guitar has the tone of Paul Kossoff, Mick Jones (Foreigner), Martin Barre, Mick Ronson, Clapton in the Blues Breakers. It's too good to be true.

    I recently put these pickups in my 93 Les Paul Classic and I can't believe the improvement. There is such a clarity in the sound. Even with overdrive/distortion/fuzz I can hear every string. I am 100% happy. Seymour knocked it out of the park with these.

    Had these in the normal configuration for 20 yrs and 4 weeks ago discovered my 'Holy Grail' tone. Changed positions: Put High Wind in neck slot and 7.5k Low Wind in Bridge. Instant Jimmy Page Tone.. I have further refined it by putting a Short A5 Mag in the 7.5k low wind bridge. Sounds like Jimmy Page at Madison Square Garden 1973.

    I briefly had a Seymour Duncan Antiquity neck humbucker in a Gibson SG Standard. While it wasn't a bad pickup I found the Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro had a rounder sound that I preferred. The Alnico Pro II is now my favorite pickup.

    • @2yugen2
      @2yugen2 Рік тому

      @ghost mall I found the Antiquity neck humbucker rather thin and low output. It wasn't bad, just not what I was going for. But I didn't think it was muddy at all, actually rather clear.

    Wound on the same Leesona machine as the majority of the '59-'60 PAFs its not so much a reissue as a continuation of Gibson's original manufacturing of pickups for the Les Paul model. Its what makes them special. Many have jumped on the bandwagon, and thats cool but credit where its due, Seymours been doing it for 30 years..

      @zmb1982 6 років тому +3

      I consider the Pearly Gates to have a sharper attack with an upper midrange bump compared to the sort of flat EQ curve of the Antiquities. The Antiquities don't quite have the sharp attach of the Pearly Gates but they have a real good "bloom" to them as well as some extra chime. The Pearly Gates are great for cutting through dense mixes and the Antiquities really open up where the guitar has a little more room to breathe. Hope this helps!

    I must say I have these, and tried tons of stuff. These are top PU’s at any price range! Takes the fart right out of your guitar and lets in breathe! I can’t say this for any other pickups. Made by anyone! Seriously don’t mislead yourself by adjectives like sweet you ma get the wrong idea! These can kick ass. First get a proper piece of wood and an amp. That wood is where the problem starts.

  • @orlandomorales5423

    That tone for sunshine of your love was perfect! Does anyone know how it would sound in my Chapman CAP 10 America? It's got 22 frets, 25.5" scale length, It's body is made from Mahogany and the neck and fingerboard are both maple. I'm looking versatility I want to be able to get a nice vintage tone for my bluesy playing but I also want to get a nice high gain lead tone as well. Are these the right pickups for me?

    • @seymourduncan
      @seymourduncan  7 років тому +1

      Higher gain sounds (depending on how high the gain is) can sometimes be a problem with unpotted pickups depending on the volume and where you stand in relationship to your amp. In your guitar, you can get a slightly brighter sound due to the scale length and maple neck/fingerboard. You can also check out the Saturday Night Special set as well as the Alnico II Pro set if you don't want to worry about high gain microphonics from the pickup.

    • @joelcohen8438

      Yeah, dead on, but he's no Clapton on the lead. Good player though. Good Vintage sound on All Right Now also. I also find the overall recorded volume to be too low. The of power the leads is lost.
