The original Antiquity Humbucker was made to look and sound like a well-worn 50s PAF humbucker, as originally designed by Seth E. Lover. They wanted to give the player a pickup that looks like it's been played regularly for 40 or 50 years, so they aged the cover and the poles. What's new here is the gold covers, which take on Seymour Duncan's aging process very well, for a really cool look._x000D_

The pickups are built to traditional standards; each has its own character and DC resistance, just like the originals. Included is a front-tapered mounting ring and the screws that go with it. The pickup is not wax-potted, which retains the vintage sound and appearance. Crafted by hand in the Antiquity room, each pickup is signed on the magnet and bottom plate to guarantee that you are getting an original Seymour W. Duncan Antiquity�_x000D_
_x000D_
Construction: Plain enamel wire, Alnico II bar magnet with a wooden spacer, butyrate bobbins, black paper tape, vintage-style single-conductor cable, and long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate. To be true to the original design, the pickup is not wax-potted, which gives it a slightly microphonic honky� quality._x000D_
_x000D_
Sound: True vintage PAF: Warm, full, bright, and mellow, with smooth sustain and relatively low output._x000D_

For: PAF aficionados with vintage-looking guitars._x000D_
_x000D_
Instrument: Brighter-toned instruments; not recommended for use with ultra-high-gain tube amplifiers over 50 watts. Antiquity pickups especially enhance the well-loved appearance of old guitars._x000D_
