Antiquity Pickups

Have you ever wanted to have aged pickups, But you didn't want to age them yourself? There are pickup companies that make aged pickups that are new. Companies like Seymour Duncan make these pickups and are sold everywhere like your local guitar shops. These pickups are made for Les Paul's, Strat's, Tele's, and even basses. These pickups have the vintage sound from the 50's and 60's and have the aged look from over the years.
