Like the neck position model, the bridge position humbucker is a
faithful replica of the great sounding "patent applied for" humbuckers
that Seth E. Lover designed in 1955. The pickup comes with slight
variations in DC resistance, just like the old ones. I decided to wind
the bridge pickup a little hotter and better balanced for its position.
The mounting ring is slightly higher for the increased pickup height.
The pickup is not wax potted to retain the sound and appearance of the
originals. Again, each pickup is built by hand in my "Antiquity" room
and every magnet and bottom plate are signed to guarantee that you are
getting an original Seymour W. Duncan Antiquity. Hookup wire includes
the classic braided ""push back"" cloth braid wire.

I made this model to look and sound like a well-worn '50s humbucker
as originally designed by Seth E. Lover. The pickups are built to
traditional standards. Each has its own character and DC resistance,
just like the originals. I wanted to give the player a pickup that looks
like it's been played regularly for 40 years, so I aged the nickel
silver cover and the poles. Included is a front-tapered mounting ring
and the screws that go with it. The pickup is not wax potted, which
retains the vintage sound and appearance. Crafted by hand in my
""Antiquity"" room, each pickup is signed on the magnet and bottom plate
to guarantee you are getting an original Seymour W. Duncan Antiquity™.
