Don't let the name fool you: the '60s Surfer pickup would be equally comfortable in the smoky clubs of Chicago's West Side as hanging ten at the Malibu Pier. The Antiquity II Surfer is hailed by many members of the Seymour Duncan User Group Forum as the ultimate pickup for vintage Strat chime and quack. Whether you play Blues, West Side Soul, Surf, or Jangle Pop, the Surfer has the sweet highs and percussive lows to give you and your Strat a Free Ride on the Way Back Machine without sacrificing output or versatility. The Custom Bridge version is available for those players needing more output from the bridge position; and an Reverse Wound/Reverse Polarity version is available for the middle position.

What do surfers from the 1960s have to do with the antiquity? We have no idea! But we do know that these Duncans are the some of the spankiest single coils around! Percussive lows and sweet top end make this pickup great for surf and jangle pop, but they just as equally serve blues, soul, or any other music that demands that legit Stratocaster quack.
