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. All the tone of
yesteryear, in a brand new look. This humbucker set delivers the tone
of the most elusive vintage PAF humbuckers.
Description
Give your Stratocaster the warm bell like chime normally reserved for
priceless vintage instruments. The Antiquity Texas Hot Neck produces
that familiar, spanky Stratocaster tone, but with a sweet tonal
character that only a decades old vintage Stratocaster pickup can
produce. Its treble attack is softened by the specially degaussed alnico
2 rod poles, and we inject just the right amount of smoke, sweat, and
grime to give them that perfect grit.
The middle pickup in the set is RW/RP for the perfect hum-free cluck
in the 2 and 4 positions.The Antiquity Texas Hot Custom Bridge is wound
hotter than the neck & middle versions to give your Stratocaster
better overall balance and increased versatility without losing the
vintage vibe. The spank and sparkle is all there and the increased
output provides just enough midrange to help your tone cut through where
traditional Strat bridge pickups fall short. Single notes sound robust
and chords are harmonically rich. The custom aged alnico 2 rod magnets
create less string pull, and that means more sustain.
Each Antiquity Texas Hot
vintage Stratocaster pickup is lacquered and potted in lamp black
paraffin wax, like the originals.
- All sets, except the Jimi Hendrix signature model, come with a Middle RWRP as the Middle Pickup.
- Middle RwRP position (reverse wind/reverse polarity) – choose this
to have a pickup that will be hum-cancelling with one of our neck or
bridge models.
