Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Jazzmaster Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Jazzmaster delivers the warm, articulate voice of vintage offset guitar tone without the fragility of original pickups. This set combines authentic 1960s Jazzmaster character with modern reliability, offering players the clarity and harmonic complexity that made these instruments studio staples while maintaining drop-in compatibility with contemporary American Standard models.

Tone & Construction

Built with Alnico 2 rod magnets and a custom coil wind using plain enamel magnet wire, these pickups capture the smooth, balanced response of the original era. The lacquered and wax potting ensures mechanical stability and consistent output, while the vintage-correct flatwork maintains authentic aesthetics and tonal characteristics across both neck and bridge positions.

Design & Compatibility

The neck pickup is reverse wound and reverse polarity, canceling hum when played in combination with the bridge pickup for noise-free performance in demanding studio or live environments. These pickups are a straightforward drop-in replacement for Fender American Standard sized Jazzmaster pickups, requiring no modification to your instrument.
