Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker Pickup Set Nickel

I replaced the stock '57 Classic Humbuckers in my 2011 Gibson ES-335 with these pickups and, after 39 years of searching, finally found my tone. I play a 1966 Fender Super Reverb amp with Weber speakers and a Fulltone OCD pedal. Great tone for Jazz, Classic Rock and Blues. I was so impressed, I bought a set for my 2008 Gibson Les Paul Traditional. These pickups do it all from Moondance to Cat Scratch Fever.

I put a pair of these into my 1960 gold top the sound was perfect. This is a true vintage sound that is right. The highs and lows are just right on the money. The middle is outstanding. They sound just like or even better that a PAF. I've been playing and around perfectional musicians to know the difference, since late 60's till president.

Yeah, they're great. Very high quality pickups . I'm gonna stick with the antiquity after trying multiple brands of PAF pickups

I put this into my 2014 Les Paul Studio. It definitely has a solid PAF tone. I compared it to some other PAF clones I have it it has its own voice, neither better or worse, just different, like any good PAF clone. I did find the Antiquities to be a little weaker than some of my other PAF clones, but that's the point as it replicates a worn pickup. I may try a fully gaussed A2 magnet at some point but I do recommend these.

You cant find better

I found the BurstBuckers that came in my R9 to be a bit on the harsh side, particularly the bridge pickup. These SD Antiquities are noticeably smoother sounding while still retaining excellent clarity and string definition. And they're far less expensive than so many of the "boutique" PAF clones that run $400 a set and more. Great vintage tone that doesn't break the bank.
