11014-15-B The Antiquity JB/Jazz Set, is the ultimate Hot Rodded Humbucker Set. Articulate and bright, but sweetened with age in our Custom Shop. The Antiquity JB/Jazz Set represents the first of the 1970s-era pickups given the Antiquity treatment. These hot-rodded humbuckers deliver a sound with rich harmonics, and a balance of sustain, distortion, and clarity. These pickups are further sweetened by the mellowing effect of aged Alnico 5 magnets and years of simulated sweat, dust, and oxidation. The bridge position’s upper mids cut through so nicely—the perfect complement to the neck position’s warmth and articulation. This is a pickup set that has been truly game-changing (Google it… you’ll see), and it can change your game as well. Each Antiquity JB/Jazz set is hand built with the same original materials that we used to make them in the ’70s, including long-legged nickel silver bottom plate, maple spacer, original Jazz and JB model stamp, rough sand-cast Alnico 5 bar magnet, heavily aged butyrate bobbins, and vintage-style push-back braided single-conductor lead wire. The electronic and cosmetic treatments of our proprietary Antiquity aging process give these pickups the look, sound, and feel of a real-deal set of ’70s Seymour Duncans.
