The Antiquity II Surfer Strat Neck pickup recreates the bright, punchy single–coil tones that defined 1960s surf and rock guitar. Seymour Duncan hand–winds each coil to vintage specifications, then ages the components to replicate the natural wear and tonal character of 60–year–old pickups. This neck position model ships unaged in white, letting players install a period–correct pickup without the cosmetic wear. The DCR measures 6.5k, balanced to deliver clear highs and muscular midrange without losing note definition under overdrive.
Alnico 5 magnets provide the magnetic field strength that gives this pickup its chimey attack and extended top end. Cloth push–back wiring honours the original wiring methods from the golden era of Fender production, maintaining signal integrity while adding authentic visual detail. Each pickup is designed and manufactured entirely in the USA, using the same scatter–wound techniques that create the slight asymmetries responsible for that vintage sparkle. The passive design requires no batteries or active preamp circuitry, relying purely on coil geometry and magnet composition to shape tone.
