Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Jazzmaster Neck Pickup

Description

Seymour Duncan built the Antiquity II Jazzmaster set to recreate the pickup tone he grew up chasing on vinyl — the shimmering, slightly wiry sound that guitarists like Roy Lanham and instrumental groups such as The Ventures pulled out of their Jazzmasters back in the ’60s. Paired with a Jazzmaster’s floating tremolo, that pickup voice became one of the defining textures of mid- to late-’60s surf and instrumental rock, the kind of tone plastered across album covers from that era.

This is the neck unit from that set, wound and aged to match the vintage character rather than chase modern output or clarity. It’s calibrated against its companion bridge pickup, so the two sit correctly balanced in level and tone when installed together, while still capturing that slightly loose, worn-in feel Duncan was after.
