Seymour Duncan Antiquity Soapbar P-90 Neck Pickup (Cream)

The Antiquity Soapbar P-90 delivers the warmth and articulation that vintage P-90 enthusiasts seek, with a hand-crafted construction that prioritizes authenticity over modern output levels. This neck pickup sits comfortably in the classic P-90 tonal palette—woody, slightly compressed, with natural sustain—making it the ideal choice for players restoring a vintage instrument or building one from period-correct components. The cream finish complements traditional Gibson-style aesthetics while the reverse-wound design ensures hum cancellation when paired with a matching bridge pickup.

Tone & Characteristics

At 7.97k ohms DC resistance, this pickup occupies the lower-output end of the P-90 spectrum, emphasizing clarity and note definition over aggressive drive. Two specially calibrated Alnico 2 bar magnets provide the signature vintage response—breakup occurs naturally through the amp rather than from excessive pickup output, allowing your playing dynamics to shape the tone.

Construction & Compatibility

Hand-fabricated bobbin, plain enamel magnet wire, and flatback tape construction reflect period-correct winding practices that contribute to the vintage character. The RWRP (reverse wound/reverse polarity) configuration pairs seamlessly with a matching bridge pickup for hum-free operation, and the soapbar design is a drop-in replacement for standard Gibson P-90 routed cavities.
