From Seymour Duncan:

RETROSPECD SERIES:

At

Seymour Duncan, we have a 40 year archive of data on pickup design,

detailing every nuance, down to the smallest detail. This knowledge is

what gives our legendary Antiquity pickups their authentic tone.

Weve

heard from many guitar builders and players alike, who wanted our

Antiquity pickups with a new, pristine look, rather than an aged,

vintage look.

So we created the Retrospecd series. All the tone of yesteryear, in a brand new look.

ANTIQUITY HUMBUCKER:

The

Antiquity bridge humbucker delivers that open, airy tone of the great

P.A.F. humbuckers that Seth Lover designed in 1955. High notes cut

through without being overly bright, and low notes growl with spongy

vintage warmth. We wind the bridge model a little hotter for better

balance and added warmth, and, as with the neck model, we use the same

custom hand-aging process to create an authentic vintage look and sound.

Each Antiquity humbucker is hand built in our Custom Shop the way Seth

Lover did. The mold we use for our butyrate bobbins was created by the

same factory that built the original P.A.F. mold for Gibson. Other key

features include our specially manufactured 42AWG plain enamel mag-wire,

nickel silver cover, 2.5-inch alnico 2 bar magnet, custom machined

metal spacer & maple spacer, single conductor push-back braided lead

wire, and nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs. Staying

true to the original Gibson P.A.F., these humbuckers are not wax potted

which takes you right to the edge of harmonic breakup. For that

unmistakable vintage mojo, we wind everyAntiquity humbucker on Seymours

original Leesona winding machine from the early Gibson factory in

Kalamazoo, MI. Every bottom plate & bar magnet are signed by Seymour

to guarantee that you are getting an original Seymour Duncan Antiquity.
