The original boutique vintage humbucker pickups to make your Les Paul

look vintage and sound priceless. The Antiquity neck humbucker delivers

an articulate, yet mellow tone that results from a perfectly balanced

frequency response that combines a soft, sweet treble attack with a

warm, full sounding low-end. The custom aged alnico 2 bar magnet creates

an airy openness to the top-end that gives chords clarity and

articulation, while the vintage output coils really bring out the rich

harmonic content. Single notes have a beautiful singing quality with

just the right amount of treble emphasis.

 

The Antiquity bridge humbucker delivers that open, airy tone of the

great “P.A.F.” humbuckers that Seth Lover designed in 1955. High notes

cut through without being overly bright, and low notes growl with spongy

vintage warmth. We wind the bridge model a little hotter for better

balance and added warmth, and, as with the neck model, we use the same

custom hand-aging process to create an authentic vintage look and sound.

 

Each Antiquity humbucker is built in our Custom Shop and aged both

cosmetically and magnetically to simulate the wear and tear that a

pickup goes through after decades of playing. The mold we use for our

butyrate bobbins was created by the same factory that built the original

P.A.F. mold for Gibson. Other key features include our specially

manufactured 42AWG plain enamel mag-wire, nickel silver cover, 2.5-inch

alnico 2 bar magnet, custom machined metal spacer & maple spacer,

single conductor push-back braided lead wire, and nickel silver bottom

plate with long mounting legs. Staying true to the original Gibson

P.A.F., these humbuckers are not wax potted, which takes you right to

the edge of harmonic breakup. For that unmistakable vintage mojo, we

wind every Antiquity humbucker on Seymour’s original Leesona winding

machine from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI.
