Seymour Duncan Antiquity Neck Pickup For 1955 Telecaster

Seymour Duncan Antiquity Neck Pickup For 1955 Telecaster

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Neck delivers the warm, articulate character of a 1950s Telecaster with meticulous attention to vintage authenticity. Hand-wound to period specifications, this pickup captures the woody midrange and natural dynamics that defined the golden age of electric guitar tone. It's built for players seeking genuine vintage voicing without the expense or fragility of original-era components.

Vintage Specifications & Tone Character

With a DC resistance of 7.9k ohms and inductance of 2.13 henries, this pickup sits in the sweet spot for articulate, balanced neck-position response. The Q rating of 1.80 ensures smooth, non-aggressive high-end rolloff characteristic of premium vintage single-coils, while hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets with staggered, raised pole pieces provide organic magnetic response that responds authentically to pick attack and string vibration.

Construction & Authenticity

The pickup features vintage "push back" cloth braid hookup wire and an aged, deep-drawn cover that authentically replicates the appearance and slight high-end softening of original 1950s hardware. Precise dimensions—3.150" length, .780" width, .670" total height—ensure perfect fit in genuine 1955 Telecaster cavities, while the .625" magnet height maintains proper string clearance and magnetic field characteristics.
