Pristine Looks. Vintage Strat Tone.
Great for surf, as well as rock, country, and blues, Seymour Duncan’s Retrospec’d Antiquity II Surfer Strat pickup delivers the bright, punchy tones you’d expect from a vintage Stratocaster single-coil, but with a non-aged look that’s tailor-made for modern instruments. This pup boasts RW/RP operation, yielding a glorious hum-free cluck in positions 2 and 4. Seymour Duncan’s Retrospec’d Antiquity II Surfer Strat pickup includes vintage-correct blue/yellow cloth pushback lead wire and light gray bottom flatwork, and has been wax potted for squeal-free performance.

Retrospec’d — brand-new cosmetics with spot-on vintage tone
Ever since the 1990s, Seymour Duncan’s Antiquity line has been the go-to replacement pickup for vintage and relic’d guitars. A number of us here at Sweetwater have dropped a set of Antiquities into our prized classics, as the aged look, tone, and response of these pickups are a perfect match for vintage-style instruments. And why is that? Well, Seymour Duncan has been in the business for a long time, with a 40-plus-year archive of pickup designs to draw from. That’s why Antiquities are so spot on. Retrospec’d Antiquity pickups exhibit a sound and performance that’s identical to their predecessors, but they eschew the aged appearance for a pristine, brand-new look that’s a perfect cosmetic match for your modern guitar.
