The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Tele Neck Unaged is a passive single-coil pickup engineered to recreate the tonal character of a 1950s Telecaster neck position pickup. This USA-designed and manufactured pickup features an Alnico 5 magnet and a DC resistance of 7.9k, delivering the well-rounded low end and sweet treble response that defined early Telecaster rhythm tones. The unaged version offers authentic vintage voicing without cosmetic ageing treatments.
Wound to vintage specifications, this neck pickup uses cloth push-back cable for period-correct wiring and authentic signal transfer. The 7.9k DCR rating sits squarely in classic Tele neck territory, providing enough output for clean articulation without overdriving preamp stages prematurely. Alnico 5 magnets contribute focused midrange definition and enhanced harmonic clarity compared to softer magnet types. The pickup captures that recognisable twangy attack while maintaining the smooth, musical treble response players associate with golden-era Fender designs.
