Seymour Duncan Antiquity JB Model Black

The Antiquity JB delivers the warm, articulate character of a vintage bridge humbucker with authentic construction and materials that modern pickups simply cannot replicate. This model captures the exact tonal signature of early 1980s J.B. humbuckers, making it the choice for players seeking genuine vintage response without compromise. The aged construction and hand-selected components ensure each unit exhibits the natural sonic character that defined an era of electric guitar tone.

Tone & Output

A 16.6K DC resistance paired with Alnico V magnets and rough sand cast construction produces a vintage output level with exceptional clarity and natural breakup. The result is a pickup that cleans up beautifully at lower volumes yet sustains with vintage authority when driven hard—ideal for players who demand nuance alongside power.

Construction & Authenticity

Built with long legged nickel silver bottom plate, heavily aged butyrate bobbins, maple spacer, and vintage style push-back braided single conductor lead wire, every component reflects period-correct specifications. Manufactured in the United States, this pickup is engineered to perform exactly as intended in bridge position on 6-string instruments.
