Summary
We’ve heard from many guitar builders and
players alike, who wanted our Antiquity pickups with a new, pristine
look, rather than an aged, vintage look. So we created the Retrospec’d series.
Description
Take
your Stratocaster on a ride through decades of seminal genre defining
tones from rock, surf, country and blues with the Antiquity II Surfer
Set.
The Antiquity II Surf Neck provides that
smooth and chimey bounciness that only a Stratocaster can produce. Our
specially calibrated alnico 5 rod magnets and custom scatter wound coil
give the treble attack a subtle sweetness without losing any of the
harmonic sparkle.
The middle pickup in the set is RW/RP for the perfect hum-free cluck in the 2 and 4 positions.
The
Antiquity II Surf for Strat Custom Bridge pickup is wound to have extra
midrange and output for a more versatility. We wind these 50% hotter
for more mids, and then slightly soften the treble attack by degaussing
the alnico 5 rod magnets. It cuts through the mix much more easily than a
traditional Strat bridge pickup, while still retaining that classic
Stratocaster tonal character. Solos will jump out more musically, and
chords will ring with the perfect amount of midrange sparkle.
Hand
built in our Custom Shop, each pickup is aged to sound like a
1960s original. They are all lacquered and wax potted.
