Do Seymour Antiquities Hold Up??

[The Violet Iris]

Do the Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbuckers hold up to the Lollars, Fralins, WCR, Wolfetone, and all the rest?

[1959burst]

they are my favorite "new recreation" paf.....................and i tried them all.

Great pickups. My buddy has them in a Class 5 Les Paul and it sounds awesome.

[surfshack]

Oh yes they do! Got a special set in my 1959Burst GawwwdBurst.
The best axe I've ever played in my sorry life bar none , and I'll take the pepsi challenge anytime on that one!

I haven't tried all the Antiquities but the P90s and HBs are very very good indeed. Highly recommended - and I don't usually go for SD pickups.

I love Antiquity HBs and Tele bridge pickups. The P90s are real good too.

Hold up? Duncan PU's have been around longer than the companies you mentioned. The best Strat I ever heard had Antiquities. I have one in the bridge of my Esquire. But the answer is a big yes!

I want the two guys who said "no" to speak up...

[Dave Orban]

I've played 'em all. I've got a set of Antiquities in a parts Tele that I just picked up, and I was prepared to replace them with something else... until I gigged with them.

They are QUITE good, IMO, and are staying in that guitar...!

just put a set of Antiquity humbuckers in my Les Paul and they sound perfect.

nice open sound, clear and can really sing.

[GuitarsFromMars]

Truthfully No-I tried a set in my LP,and I prefer the sound of the WCR pickups I have a Goodwood Plus in the bridge,and a DarkBurst in the neck.

I like Antiquity's a lot. I wish they had a little more 'meat' to the notes. The tone is excellent but I've always found the bridge to be lacking just that something something. The neck is great.

To me Timbuckers (most recent wind), Wolfetone Dr V's, or RS True 60's (Fralin) are all superior.
