Seymour DuncanAntiquity II Surf for Strat custom-bridge (added output)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Strat-format single-coil for the bridge position, wound hotter than the rest of the Antiquity II Surf set to even out volume across pickups.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strat players whose bridge pickup sounds thin next to the middle
- Adding bite to the bridge without switching to a humbucker
- Replacing one worn or weak bridge single-coil
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want the neck or middle position covered
- Guitars routed for a humbucker at the bridge
- Anyone chasing high-gain metal output
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
Strat single-coil format
Fits standard Stratocaster pickguard routing and mounts to the pickguard, not the body.
Detail 03
Bridge position only
Covers one of three slots. The middle and neck pickups stay as they are unless you buy those separately.
Detail 04
SSS configuration
Designed for a three-single-coil Strat. Slots into the existing five-way switch without rewiring the circuit.
Detail 05
Passive single-coil
Bright with clear string separation, and it hums when you're not on a switch position that cancels it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Bridge pickup only — the middle and neck positions are sold separately
- 02You'll need to unscrew the pickguard and desolder the old pickup
- 03Higher output can make the bridge louder than the other two if mismatched
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a standard Stratocaster pickguard?
Yes. It's built to Strat single-coil dimensions and mounts through the pickguard with the usual three screws and springs or tubing.
02What does 'added output' actually change?
More volume and a bit more push into the amp from the bridge position, so it doesn't sound weak next to your other two pickups.
03Do I have to buy the whole set?
No. This is the bridge pickup on its own. Many players upgrade the bridge first since it's the position that usually sounds thinnest.
04Is it noiseless?
No. It's a true single-coil, so expect the usual hum near lighting dimmers, monitors and computer screens.
