Seymour DuncanAntiquity II Firebird Neck Position
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Aged-finish Antiquity II Firebird neck pickup, $169. For Firebird owners or builders replacing a neck mini-humbucker in a reverse-body guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Firebird players replacing a worn or noisy neck pickup
- Reverse-body builds needing a correctly sized mini-humbucker
- Aged-parts builds where new chrome would look out of place
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard humbucker routes — a Firebird pickup won't fill them
- Bridge-position replacement; this is the neck unit
- Players who want a single-coil's brighter, thinner attack
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
Voiced and sized for the neck slot. Firebird neck and bridge units differ, so they aren't swappable positions.
Detail 03
Humbucking design
Two coils cancel most electrical hum, so it stays quieter than a single-coil under stage lighting.
Detail 04
HH configuration
Assumes a two-pickup guitar. Pairing with a mismatched bridge pickup can leave positions uneven in output.
Detail 05
Aged cosmetics
Cover and hardware come pre-worn. Each one ages slightly differently, so expect variation from the catalog image.
Detail 06
$169 single pickup
One piece at boutique pricing. Doing both positions roughly doubles the cost.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing pickup and route — Firebird sizing is not standard humbucker sizing
- 02No mounting ring, screws, springs, pots or wire included
- 03Requires soldering to the existing harness, or a tech to do it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a normal humbucker route?
No. Firebird pickups are smaller than full humbuckers. Fitting one into a standard route leaves gaps and needs a custom ring or filler.
02Can I use it in the bridge position?
It's built as the neck unit. Physical fit and balance in the bridge slot won't be right — order the bridge version instead.
03Does it hum like a single-coil?
No. It's a humbucker, so the two coils cancel most background hum. It stays quiet near amps, screens and stage lights.
04Does the aged finish keep wearing?
The aging is applied at the factory, not ongoing. Normal playing adds wear over time as it would to any hardware.
