Pristine Looks. Vintage Texas Boogie.
Made-to-measure for rude, down-home Texas barroom boogie, Seymour Duncan’s Retrospec’d Antiquity Texas Hot Strat pickups deliver the chime, sparkle, and feel you’d expect from a vintage Stratocaster single-coil, but with a non-aged look that’s tailor-made for modern instruments. The hot-wound bridge and middle pickups cut through a hard-working band with unprecedented ease, while the neck pickup’s degaussed Alnico II rod magnets yield a smoky high-end response that’s completely devoid of brittleness. Beyond that, the RW/RP middle pickup yields a glorious hum-free cluck in positions 2 and 4, while custom-aged magnets create less string pull for enhanced sustain. Seymour Duncan’s Retrospec’d Antiquity Texas Hot Strat pickups include vintage-correct cloth pushback lead wire, and has been lacquered and 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.
