Seymour Duncan 11034-01 Duo Sonic Fender Replacement single coil Pickup – Neck

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Duo-Sonic Neck Pickup faithfully recreates the smooth, clear single-coil tone that made vintage Duo-Sonic guitars so loved. Designed with a flat pole pattern, this pickup delivers even string balance, making it ideal for lighter gauge strings, chord work, and fingerstyle playing. Hand-built in the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop, this pickup features untumbled Alnico II rod magnets, a custom coil wind with heavy Formvar wire, and vintage-correct cloth push-back lead wire. The pole pieces extend slightly through the baseplate, just like original units, ensuring authentic response and classic feel. Each pickup is lacquered and wax potted for long-term stability while retaining the airy, open tone expected from a true vintage-style single coil. Whether you’re restoring an original Duo-Sonic or adding genuine vintage mojo to a modern reissue, this pickup delivers unmistakable character and balance.
