Description
The Antiquity Jazz Model humbucker serves as the complement to the Antiquity JB for the neck position, aiming to replicate the appearance and sound of a classic 1970s vintage pickup. It maintains the Jazz Model’s renowned warmth, fullness, and clarity while introducing a subtle softening in the high-frequency response through a custom-aged alnico 5 bar magnet.
Each Antiquity Jazz humbucker is meticulously crafted using authentic materials from the 1970s era, following Seymour Duncan’s original methods. Components include a long-legged nickel silver bottom plate, a maple spacer, the original Jazz model stamp, a rough sand-cast alnico 5 bar magnet, heavily weathered butyrate bobbins, and vintage-style push-back braided single-conductor lead wire. Through their exclusive Antiquity aging process, both electrically and aesthetically, this pickup captures the essence, sound, and tactile sensation of an authentic 1970s Jazz Model.
