Description: The Antiquity Tele Lead will give you that early-’50s Tele tone, but with the high end sweetened by the custom-calibrated, hand-ground Alnico 2 rod magnets. What you get is the classic Tele twang and snap, but with a treble response that is bright but never piercing. The Antiquity Tele Rhythm is a faithful reproduction of an early-’50s Tele neck pickup. The bass response is full and round, and will add richness to your chords, while the specially calibrated hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and custom coil winding give the top end a smoother, more musical attack. It’s great for big, bold rhythm playing, and percussive enough for classic country-style chicken pickin’, with a reverse wound/reverse polarity design for hum-canceling when used in combination with the Antiquity Tele Lead pickup. Like the originals, the ferrous bottom plates are not wax potted for that classic Telecaster tone that’s just on the verge of feedback. Each pickup is hand-fabricated and scatter-wound in our Custom Shop, and all parts are aged to give the look and sound of a pickup that has been played for decades. We use vintage-style push-back cloth wire, a custom-aged, deep-drawn cover for neck models, and all Antiquity Tele vintage Telecaster pickups are lacquered and potted in lamp black paraffin wax, just like they were in the ’50s. Features Handcrafted with precision: Each pickup in this set is hand-built in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara workshop, ensuring meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.Vintage-inspired design: The Antiquity pickups are designed to replicate the look and sound of the original '55 Telecaster pickups, capturing the essence of that era.Period-correct magnet wire: The pickups feature period-correct 42-gauge plain enamel magnet wire, providing the authentic vintage tone and response.Alnico II magnets: The Alnico II magnets used in these pickups contribute to their warm, sweet, and balanced sound characteristics.Custom-aged covers: The pickup covers are carefully aged to replicate the worn-in appearance of vintage pickups, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal.
