The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Retrospec'd Surfer Strat bridge pickup is wound to have extra midrange and output for more versatility. Seymour Duncan wind these 50% hotter for more mids, and then slightly soften the treble attack by degaussing the Alnico V rod magnets. The pickup cuts through the mix much more easily than a traditional Strat bridge pickup, while still retaining that classic Stratocaster tonal character. Solos will jump out more musically, and chords will ring with the perfect amount of midrange sparkle. The Antiquity Retrospec'd series offers all the beloved Antiquity tone of yesteryear in a brand new, cosmetically non-aged look.
