The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Retrospec'd Tele neck pickup (rhythm) is a faithful reproduction of an early 50s Tele pickup. The bass response is full and round, and will add richness to your chords, while the specially calibrated hand ground Alnico V rod magnets, and custom coil winding give the treble a smoother, more musical attack. It’s great for big, bold rhythm playing, and percussive enough for classic country-style chicken pickin. It is built reverse-wound, reverse-polarity (RWRP) for hum-canceling when used in combination with the Antiquity Tele Lead (bridge) pickup. The Antiquity Retrospec'd series offers all the beloved Antiquity tone of yesteryear in a brand new, cosmetically non-aged look.
