Strong match

Who this is for

  • Tele owners swapping factory pickups without routing the body
  • Players who want a vintage-voiced single-coil rather than a hot one
  • Upgrading one position at a time on a budget

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting high output for heavy gain
  • Humbucker-routed guitars without a conversion ring or pickguard
  • Anyone unwilling to solder or pay for install

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.

Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Tele Bridge Neck Position construction detail

Detail 01

Telecaster format

Built to Tele dimensions, so it drops into a standard bridge plate or neck cavity without woodwork.

Detail 02

Single-coil

Bright and detailed, but picks up hum near lights and screens. No noise cancelling here.

Detail 03

Position-specific

Tele bridge and neck pickups are wound and shaped differently. Ordering the wrong position means it won't fit or match.

Detail 04

Passive design

No battery, no preamp. Works with your existing pots, switch and cable.

Detail 05

$129 price point

Sits in normal boutique-pickup territory, roughly the cost of a set of strings times ten. Installation is extra.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Nothing else is included — no pots, no switch, no wiring harness

  3. 03Confirm your guitar's route matches Tele bridge or neck dimensions first

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my Squier or Fender Telecaster?

Yes, if the guitar uses standard Tele routing and a standard bridge plate. Check the cavity before ordering, especially on offset or modified bodies.

02Do I need to change my pots or wiring?

Not necessarily. It's a passive single-coil and works with existing Tele controls, though a tech may recommend fresh pots if the originals are scratchy.

03Is this one pickup or a matched pair?

It's sold by position. Buy the bridge and neck separately if you want both ends of the guitar covered.

04Can I install it myself?

If you can solder cleanly and read a Tele wiring diagram, yes. Otherwise a tech will handle it in well under an hour.
