ANTIQUITY™ JB/JAZZ
"I like things that look old and well worn from playing. They have character, like they've been used and well loved. That's how I started our Antiquity line of aged guitar and bass pickups." —Seymour W. Duncan

Antiquity JB/Jazz Set

Antiquity™ JB/Jazz™ Set


It's been over three decades since Seymour Duncan created the first production JB and Jazz Model™ pickups. If you were to come across a set of those early production pickups, whether on eBay or in an old guitar, what would they look and sound like today?

That's always the question Seymour considers with Antiquity™ pickups—new pickups designed to look and sound like old ones, courtesy of a proprietary aging process. In the case of the JB and Jazz, though, Seymour has intimate knowledge from guitars in his own possession.

The Antiquity JB/Jazz Set represents the first of the 1970s-era pickups given the Antiquity treatment.



Sound: Rich harmonics, and a balance of sustain, distortion, and clarity, buffered by the mellowing effect of aged magnets and years of simulated sweat, dust, and oxidation.

For: Connoisseurs of the best of the historic Seymour Duncan sounds.
