Seymour Duncan Antiquity JB/Jazz 35th Anniversary Humbucker Set, Zebra

Seymour Duncan Antiquity JB/Jazz 35th Anniversary Humbucker Set, Zebra Overview

The Antiquity JB/Jazz Set is a stunning revival of Seymour Duncan’s legendary 1970s-era humbuckers, now given the full Antiquity treatment. Designed to capture the magic of well-worn, road-tested pickups, these hot-rodded classics deliver the perfect blend of sustain, distortion, and clarity, enriched by the subtle warmth of aged Alnico 5 magnets. Every note sings with harmonic complexity, from the articulate, smooth warmth of the neck pickup to the bridge pickup’s cutting upper mids that slice effortlessly through a mix.

Built to exact vintage specifications, each Antiquity JB/Jazz pickup is crafted using the same materials as the originals, including a long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate, rough sand-cast Alnico 5 bar magnet, and heavily aged butyrate bobbins. The pickups also feature an original maple spacer, vintage-style push-back braided single-conductor lead wire, and the signature Jazz and JB model stamp. Seymour Duncan’s proprietary Antiquity aging process ensures not only an authentic, time-worn aesthetic but also a broken-in sound, as if these pickups had spent decades soaking in the sweat, dust, and oxidation of countless gigs and recording sessions.

The result is a pickup set that embodies the essence of a well-played ‘70s humbucker: smooth yet powerful, dynamic yet refined. Whether you crave soulful cleans, punchy overdriven tones, or searing leads, the Antiquity JB/Jazz set provides an inspiring, organic response that feels like an extension of your playing. Perfect for vintage purists and tone chasers alike, this set delivers the unmistakable sound of history with every note.
