Seymour Duncan Antiquity Texas Hot Pickup for Strat

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Texas Hot delivers the articulate, vintage-informed character that defined classic Strat tones, with enough output and presence to cut through a mix without sacrificing the harmonic complexity players seek in alnico-magnet designs. Built to exacting specifications using period-appropriate materials and winding techniques, this pickup set reproduces the sonic signature of early '60s Texas-made instruments with meticulous attention to detail. Players favoring clarity, natural breakup, and responsive dynamics will find these pickups reward both clean and driven applications.

Tone & Electronics

The Alnico 2 magnets paired with "top going" coil winding and north magnetic polarity produce a warm, articulate output that balances definition with vintage smoothness. Bridge DCR of 9.8k, mid DCR of 6.5k, and neck DCR of 6.3k establish moderate output levels that respond naturally to amp gain while preserving note-to-note separation and harmonic richness across all three positions.

Construction & Winding

Each pickup is lacquered and potted in lamp black paraffin wax, eliminating microphonic feedback and ensuring consistent performance over time. The middle pickup arrives reverse wound and reverse polarity (RWRP) to hum-cancel with both bridge and neck positions, a refinement that maintains vintage character while reducing 60-cycle noise in typical playing environments.
