Duncan Antiquity pickups are faithful reproductions of classic vintage guitar pickups used in Fender, Gibson Epiphone and other top vintage guitar brands. Rock N Roll Vintage offers the complete Duncan Antiquity Pickup line. If we don't see what you need we can order any Duncan pickup including Basslines and Stratocaster and Telecaster pickups.
Duncan Antiquity Humbuckers
Neck and Bridge Pickups
Duncan made this model to look and sound like a well-worn '50s fender humbucker as originally designed by Seth E. Lover. The pickups are built to traditional standards. Each has its own character and DC resistance, just like the originals. Duncan wanted to give the player a pickup that looks like it's been played regularly for 40 years, so he aged the nickel silver cover and the poles. Included is a front-tapered mounting ring and the screws that go with it. The pickup is not wax potted, which retains the vintage sound and appearance. Crafted by hand in my "Antiquity" room, each pickup is signed on the magnet and bottom plate to guarantee you are getting an original Seymour W. Duncan Antiquity™.
Like the neck position model, the bridge position humbucker is a faithful replica of the great sounding "patent applied for" humbuckers that Seth E. Lover designed in 1955. The pickup comes with slight variations in DC resistance, just like the old ones. Duncan decided to wind the bridge pickup a little hotter and better balanced for its position. The mounting ring is slightly higher for the increased pickup height. The pickup is not wax potted to retain the sound and appearance of the originals. Again, each pickup is built by hand in my "Antiquity" room and every magnet and bottom plate are signed to guarantee that you are getting an original Seymour W. Duncan Antiquity™. Hookup wire includes the classic braided "push back" cloth braid wire.
Seymour Duncan Mini-Humbuckers
Duncan always liked this pickup. Glenn Schwartz who played in the early James Gang and Pacific Gas & Electric used Mini-Humbuckers. He had an old Epiphone® Sheraton™ fitted with mini-humbuckers that got such a huge tone. With this pickup, Duncan set out to capture that same tone. This pickup fits into the P-90 soapbar cover-style mounting ring and has adjustable pole pieces.
Duncan P-90's
Imagine the pickups out of an old '52 gibson gold top or a '59 Gibson ES-330. By removing the cover you'll find the same hand-fabricated bobbins, wire and "flatback" tape that was used in the originals. Two specially calibrated Dun-Aged™ Alnico II magnets are attached to a precision metal spacer which transfers the magnetic field to the strings via six fillister head pole pieces. The "soapbar" version is available with black or cream covers. The "dog ear" version comes with an aged thermoformed black cover that looks great! All versions have an authoritative, vintage tone
Pickups for Stratocaster Guitars
Seymour Duncan wound this pickup hotter for added output and fullness. Like my Texas Hot™, this pickup is both magnetically and physically aged to sound and look like a '50s pickup but with an added punch. Each comes with a specially aged cover. I don't just mold my covers with custom colors so that they look old. The magnets are calibrated and the coils are wound "top going" with North polarity, the same as the early vintage models. Each pickup comes complete with screws, schematics, and vintage "push back" cloth braid hookup wire.
Antiquity Jazz Bass Pickups
The neck position is wound "top going" and North polarity. The bridge position is wound "top coming" and South polarity. When used in combination with each other the pickups will be hum-canceling. Both pickups have the traditional pole spacing. The magnets are protruding from the top and bottom of the flatwork for a smooth even response. Each pickup is recreated to fit in your old classic and comes with black aged pickup cover, schematic, and mounting screws. Hookup wire is the classic "push back" c braid wire.
Antiquity Precision Bass Pickups
The two bobbins are reverse wound and reverse polarity to make the pickup humbucking. The pickups are hand fabricated and wound using traditional techniques and use classic "push back" cloth braid hookup wire. Each pickup comes with aged black covers, schematics and mounting screws.
