Seymour DuncanAntiquity for 1955 Tele Pickup Bridge Position
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A bridge-position Telecaster single-coil in Seymour Duncan's Antiquity line, modeled on 1955-era Tele voicing. For players restoring vintage bite to a Tele.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tele players who want the bridge to twang rather than shriek
- Country, roots and rockabilly rhythm and lead work
- Direct swap for a dull or microphonic factory bridge pickup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Neck-position replacement — this covers the bridge only
- High-output players driving heavy distortion
- Guitars with a humbucker-routed bridge and no conversion plate
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Bridge position
Mounts to the Tele bridge plate, not the pickguard. Your plate must have the standard pickup cutout.
Detail 03
Telecaster format
Standard Tele bridge dimensions, so it drops into most Tele-style guitars without any routing.
Detail 04
Single-coil, passive
Cutting treble and touch sensitivity, with normal single-coil hum. No battery or preamp needed.
Detail 05
SS layout
Built for a two-single-coil Tele circuit and works with the stock three-way switch and controls.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Bridge pickup only — a matching neck pickup is a separate purchase
- 02No wiring harness, plate or hardware included
- 03Vintage-style bridge plates and modern flat-mount plates differ; check yours before ordering
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will it fit my Telecaster?
If the guitar uses a standard Tele bridge plate with the usual pickup cutout and three mounting screws, yes. Check unusual or modern bridges first.
02How is this different from the other Antiquity Tele bridge pickup?
This one is voiced after 1955 Teles specifically. The differences are in the winding and voicing rather than fit, which is the same.
03Can I mix it with a different neck pickup?
Yes. Tele pickups are independent, though matching output between positions keeps volume even when you flip the switch.
04Does it come with wiring?
No. You reuse your existing pots, switch and jack, or buy a harness separately if the originals are worn out.
