These vintage Telecaster pickups are our tribute to the time-honored
1960s classics. The bridge model is bright and twangy with a slight
softening of the treble response. Seymour wound the rhythm pickup as the
perfect match for the unique picking style and intricate bends he used
on his mid-’60s Tele.
The Antiquity II Tele vintage Telecaster
bridge pickup is built with specially calibrated, hand-ground Alnico 5
rod magnets, with the period-correct pole stagger. There is plenty of
snap and bounce to the low strings, and the high strings give you that
classic Tele twang, but with none of the dreaded “ice pick” harshness.
It’s obviously great for country, but plenty of rockers rely on this
pickup to work their magic.
The Antiquity II Tele Rhythm pickup
also uses hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets, as well as a special coil
wind to deliver a clear, bright, and balanced Tele neck tone. There is
plenty of warmth as well as crisp detail that makes this a great pickup
for players who use a hybrid picking style or do lots of string
bending. In fact, Seymour wound the rhythm pickup as the perfect match
for the unique picking style and intricate bends he used on his own
mid-’60s maple-neck Tele.
With the Antiquity II Tele vintage
pickups, you can get the look and sound of the ultimate ’60s
Telecaster. We use custom aged, gray bottom flatwork, brass plated
steel bottom plate, vintage push-back cloth wire, and each pickup is
lacquered and wax potted, just like the originals.
