Early Seymour Duncan Antiquity mandolin pickup from 1994 — the first year of the Antiquity line — complete with its original box, cloth pouch, and the hand-filled tag signed by Seymour W. Duncan himself, serial number 94030015. Reads 4.27 when I test the pickup.


The Antiquity for Mandolin is Duncan's recreation of the 1950s Gibson electric mandolin pickup (the EM-150 / EM-200 style): a four-pole single coil under an aged black cover, hand-fabricated and scatter-wound in the Custom Shop and aged to look and sound like a pickup that has been played for decades. Sweet, clear, and woody with the attack mandolin players chase for electric work — country, swing, jazz, and amplified acoustic styles.

DC resistance is handwritten on the original tag. This is a clean, complete, collector-grade example, and a genuinely hard pickup to find — the Antiquity mandolin was a low-production Custom Shop piece and examples with the signed tag, box, and pouch intact almost never come up.

Includes: pickup, original Antiquity box, cloth pouch, and the signed serial tag — everything shown in the photos.
