Seymour DuncanAntiquity II Bridge Telecaster Single-Coil Pickup - Aged Bridge Position
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Aged single-coil for the bridge position of a Telecaster. For players who want vintage Tele twang rather than modern output.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping a harsh or lifeless stock Tele bridge pickup
- Country, rockabilly and roots players living in the bridge position
- Building a Tele aimed at classic single-coil bite
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Neck position — wrong size and mounting for the neck route
- Players who want humbucker output or silent operation
- Anyone expecting hot, compressed high-gain tone
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
Aged finish
Cosmetic wear on the cover and hardware so it looks broken-in rather than new. It has no effect on tone.
Detail 03
Single-coil
Bright, cutting and touch-sensitive, with the usual single-coil hum. Expect noise near amps, dimmers and monitors.
Detail 04
Telecaster format
Sized for the standard Tele bridge plate with its three mounting screws and springs. Not a Strat or humbucker replacement.
Detail 05
Sold as a single pickup
Neck pickup is not included, so a full set means buying the matching neck separately.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Only the bridge pickup is included — no neck pickup, no wiring harness
- 02Soldering required; bridge pickup swaps mean removing strings and the bridge plate
- 03Mounting screws and height springs may not be included — reuse your originals
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a set?
No. It is the bridge pickup only. The matching neck pickup is a separate purchase.
02Does the aged look mean it is used?
No. The aging is applied cosmetically at the factory to give a new pickup a broken-in appearance.
03Will it fit a standard Telecaster bridge plate?
Yes, it uses the standard Tele bridge pickup format. Check that your bridge plate is a traditional three-screw type before ordering.
04Is it louder than a stock pickup?
It is voiced toward vintage output rather than high output, so expect clarity and dynamics rather than more volume.
