Seymour DuncanAntiquity II Surf Pickup For Strat RWRP (middle position)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single middle-position pickup for a three-single-coil Strat, wound reverse to cancel hum in the in-between switch positions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strat players replacing only the middle pickup
- Anyone chasing quieter tone in positions 2 and 4
- Filling a gap in an existing Antiquity II Surf setup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a full three-pickup set
- Guitars with humbuckers or HSS layouts in the middle
- Anyone wanting a bridge or neck replacement
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
Middle position only
This is one pickup, not a set. Your bridge and neck pickups stay whatever is already in the guitar.
Detail 03
SSS configuration
Designed for a standard three-single-coil Strat pickguard. Will not drop into a humbucker route without modification.
Detail 04
Stratocaster body shape
Mounting screw spacing and height adjustment match a standard Strat pickguard, so no drilling is needed.
Detail 05
Surf voicing
Aimed at bright, glassy clean tones with clear top end rather than thick midrange push.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is one pickup — bridge and neck are sold separately

- 03Requires soldering to your existing five-way switch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set?
No. It is the middle pickup only. You will need to buy bridge and neck pickups separately if you want to replace all three.
02What does RWRP actually do?
It reverses the coil winding and magnet polarity so hum cancels when the middle pickup is combined with another. That gives you quiet positions 2 and 4.
03Will it match my existing pickups?
Output and voicing will differ from other brands. It matches best alongside the rest of the same series.
04Does it fit a standard Strat pickguard?
Yes, for a standard three-single-coil Strat. HSS and other routed pickguards may need a different pickup or a new guard.
