Detail 01
Mini humbucker
Smaller coils read a narrower slice of the string, so it stays tighter and clearer than a full-size humbucker.

Seymour DuncanAntiquity II Adjustable Mini Humbucker Neck Position
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A neck-position mini humbucker with adjustable pole pieces, $169. For players who want humbucking quiet without a full-size humbucker's weight and thickness.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitars already routed for a mini humbucker at the neck
- Players wanting a clearer neck voice than a full-size humbucker
- Evening out string-to-string volume, since each pole adjusts
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- The bridge position — this one is wound for the neck
- Guitars routed for full-size humbuckers or single-coils without route or ring changes
- Players chasing true single-coil snap and top-end bite
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
Neck position wind
Voiced for where the string swings widest. Put it at the bridge and you get a thin, weak result.
Detail 03
Adjustable pole pieces
Raise or lower individual poles to fix string balance instead of living with whatever the factory height gives you.
Detail 04
Humbucking design
Two coils cancel hum, so it stays quiet near amps, dimmers, monitors and computer screens.
Detail 05
$169 for one pickup
Replacement-pickup money per position. A two-pickup guitar doubles that before wiring parts or a tech's time.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the route: a mini is not a drop-in for a full-size humbucker cavity
- 02One pickup only — wiring, pots, mounting ring and solder work are on you
- 03Budget a tech if you don't solder; height and pole setup decide how it sounds
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a mini humbucker fit my full-size humbucker route?
Not directly. A mini is smaller in both dimensions, so it needs a matching route or an adapter ring. Check the cavity before ordering.
02Can I use it in the bridge position?
It's wound for the neck. At the bridge it'll come across thin and low in output. Use a bridge-wound pickup there instead.
03Is it quiet under high gain?
It's a humbucker, so the two coils cancel most of the hum a single-coil would pass. Expect quiet operation near lighting and monitors.
04What do the adjustable poles actually do?
They set each string's output by height. Raise a quiet string, lower a loud one, and balance the pickup without moving the whole unit.
