SEYMOUR DUNCAN Antq for Telecaster Br

Designed to deliver all the vibe and musicality of a vintage Telecaster pickup, Antiquity Tele pickups have that classitwangy ’50s Tele lead tone custom aged for a smoother treble response combined with a ’50s Tele rhythm pickup’s wellrounded low end and nice sweet treble response. The Antiquity Tele Lead will give you that early’50s Tele tone, but with the high end sweetened by the customcalibrated, handground Alnico 2 rod magnets. What you get is the classiTele twang and snap, but with a treble response that is bright but never piercing. The Antiquity Tele Rhythm is a faithful reproduction of an early’50s Tele neck pickup. The bass response is full and round, and will add richness to your chords, while the specially calibrated handground Alnico 5 rod magnets and custom coil winding give the top end a smoother, more musical attack. It’s great for big, bold rhythm playing, and percussive enough for classicountrystyle chicken pickin’, with a reverse wound/reverse polarity design for humcanceling when used in combination with the Antiquity Tele Lead pickup. Like the originals, the ferrous bottom plates are not wax potted for that classiTelecaster tone that’s just on the verge of feedback. Each pickup is handfabricated and scatterwound in our Custom Shop, and all parts are aged to give the look and sound of a pickup that has been played for decades. We use vintagestyle pushback cloth wire, a customaged, deepdrawn cover for neck models, and all Antiquity Tele vintage Telecaster pickups are lacquered and potted in lamp black paraffin wax, just like they were in the ’50s.
