SEYMOUR DUNCAN ANTQ HUMBKR BRIDGE

'11014-05 The original boutique vintage humbucker pickups to make your Les Paul look vintage and priceless. These pickups convey the aesthetics and tone of the most elusive vintage P.A.F. humbuckers. The antique neck humbucker offers an articulate yet soft tone that comes from a perfectly balanced frequency response that combines a sweet treble attack with a warm, full-sounding low end. The custom aged 2-bar alnico magnet creates an airy opening at the top that offers clarity and chord articulation, while the vintage output coils really highlight the rich harmonic content. The single notes have a wonderful singing quality with just the right amount of treble emphasis. The ancient bridge humbucker offers that open and airy tone of the great “P.A.F.” humbuckers designed by Seth Lover in 1955. The high notes are cut without being overly bright and the low notes growl with a spongy vintage warmth. We wrap the bridge model a little warmer for better balance and added warmth, and as with the neck model, we use the same personalized manual aging process to create an authentic vintage look and sound. Each antique humbucker is built in our custom shop and aged both aesthetically and magnetically to simulate the wear and tear a pickup undergoes after decades of play. The mold we use for our butyrate coils was created by the same factory that built the original P.A.F. mold for Gibson. Other key features include our specially fabricated 42AWG enameled magnetic wire, nickel silver cover, 2.5 inch alnico 2 bar magnet, custom machined metal spacer and maple spacer, single-conductor push-back braided conductor wire, and nickel silver bottom plate with mounting legs. Staying true to the original Gibson P.A.F., these humbuckers are not in a wax pot, which takes you to the limit of harmonic disruption. For that unmistakable vintage mojo, we wrap all the humbuckers of antiquity on the original Seymour Leesona winder from the first Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI. '
