Take your
Stratocaster on a ride through decades of
seminal genre defining tones from rock,
surf, country and blues with the Antiquity
II Surfer Set.
The Antiquity II Surf
Neck provides that smooth and chimey
bounciness that only a Stratocaster can
produce. Our specially calibrated alnico 5
rod magnets and custom scatter wound coil
give the treble attack a subtle sweetness
without losing any of the harmonic sparkle.
The middle pickup in
the set is RW/RP for the perfect hum-free
cluck in the 2 and 4 positions.
The Antiquity II Surf
for Strat Custom Bridge pickup is wound to
have extra midrange and output for a more
versatility. We wind these 50% hotter for
more mids, and then slightly soften the
treble attack by degaussing the alnico 5 rod
magnets. It cuts through the mix much more
easily than a traditional Strat bridge
pickup, while still retaining that classic
Stratocaster tonal character. Solos will
jump out more musically, and chords will
ring with the perfect amount of midrange
sparkle.
Hand built in our
Custom Shop, each pickup is aged to look
and sound like a 1960s original. We use
vintage correct blue/yellow cloth
pushback lead wire, light gray bottom
flatwork, and custom aged covers for
just the right look. They are all
lacquered and wax potted.
