Seymour Duncan Handcrafted Antiquity Texas Hot Pickups for Vintage Tone

The Antiquity Texas Hot pickups are the heart of this preloaded pickguard, delivering the unmistakable tones of vintage single-coils. Seymour Duncan's custom winding process and aged Alnico II rod magnets create a dynamic sound with sparkling highs, warm mids, and a touch of growl. The Custom Bridge pickup adds extra output for cutting through dense mixes, while the RW/RP middle pickup eliminates hum in positions 2 and 4 without compromising tone. These pickups are individually lacquered and potted in lamp black paraffin wax, mirroring the construction techniques of the originals. This attention to detail ensures an authentic tonal character that captures the essence of the 1950s strat sound.

Period-Correct Components for Authentic Vibe

Every aspect of the Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickguard has been designed to replicate the look and feel of a 1950s stratocaster. The single-ply matte white pickguard features an 8-hole screw pattern, staying true to vintage design specifications. Authentic potentiometers and cap values were chosen to enhance tonal accuracy, while details like old-school yellow paper tape on the pickup wires further the retro aesthetic. Each pickguard is personally signed by Seymour Duncan, ensuring its quality and craftsmanship. These period-correct appointments give your guitar a classic vibe that is both visually and sonically compelling.
