Description
Seymour Duncan’s Antiquity for Telecaster nails the sound of a ’55 bridge pickup, but with a subtle twist Fender itself introduced back in the day. Once the earliest flat-pole lead pickups hit the market, Fender staggered the D and G poles upward to correct string-to-string balance and squeeze out a bit more output. That revised layout is what you’re getting here, and it’s every bit as gnarly and alive as the flat-pole original, just with tighter response across the wound and plain strings.
This is a calibrated bridge unit, wound with a south magnet polarity and a top-coming winding direction, landing at 6.1K DC resistance with 2.0 henries of inductance and a Q of 2.0. Numbers aside, this is the pickup that gives you that brittle, cutting Tele twang with just enough midrange grit to keep chords from sounding thin.
- Top pickup length: 2.870
