Unlock the legendary warmth and bell-like chime of vintage Stratocaster pickups with the Antiquity Texas Hot set, meticulously crafted to capture decades of tonal evolution. These pickups reproduce that familiar, spanky Stratocaster character whilst adding the sweet tonal complexity that only genuine vintage instruments possess. The specially degaussed alnico 2 rod poles soften the treble attack, while Seymour Duncan’s careful injection of smoke, sweat, and grime provides that perfect vintage grit.
The middle pickup features RW/RP winding for complete hum cancellation in positions 2 and 4, giving you that classic ‘cluck’ without unwanted noise. Meanwhile, the Custom Bridge pickup runs hotter than its neck and middle counterparts, creating better overall balance and increased versatility without sacrificing the vintage character. This increased output adds crucial midrange presence, helping your tone cut through the mix where traditional Strat bridge pickups often struggle.
Each pickup undergoes custom ageing both cosmetically and magnetically to simulate authentic wear from decades of playing. The individually ground alnico 2 rod poles are specifically calibrated for the ideal combination of chime and sweetness, whilst creating less string pull for improved sustain. Complete with specially aged covers and lacquered in lamp black paraffin wax just like the originals, these pickups bring authentic vintage tone to your modern Stratocaster.
