The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Retrospec'd Surfer Strat middle pickup will give you the same glassy tone of the standard wound Surf pickup when used on its own, but when put in combination with either the bridge or neck pickups, it will deliver that beautiful, bright in between sound that Stratocasters are so famous for. The Surfer Strat middle pickup is made with Seymour Duncan's custom winding spec and Alnico V rod magnets as the neck model, but is reverse-wound reverse-polarity to allow for hum-canceling when used in combination with the neck or bridge pickup. The Antiquity Retrospec'd series offers all the beloved Antiquity tone of yesteryear in a brand new, cosmetically non-aged look.
