Frequently Asked Questions
They're designed to replicate the vintage tone, but modern manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent output and reliability not always found in originals.
While versatile, the medium output might be slightly subdued with extreme high-gain settings; they’ll still handle it, but won’t be as aggressive as hotter pickups.
The description doesn't explicitly state potting, but Seymour Duncan Antiquity series often are; unpotted pickups can be more susceptible to microphonic feedback at high volumes.
