    Seymour Duncan wants $255 for shipping to replace two "Dead on Arrival" Antiquity II Surfer Strat Pickups.

    Yes, my luthier said same thing. If issue cause in external (out lead) it's simple to solve but, if issue cause in internal (inner lead) it's too hard, you must unwound coils find the connection lost and rewind. But Antiquity II Surfer Strat has own special wind pattern, so re-wind pickup sound...

    The fault isn't at the terminals or where the leads connect; it's somewhere deep inside the coil itself. Since the pickup was already dead, we thought it might just be a loose contact at the start or end points. However, it’s still giving an O.L reading, which means the break is within the...

    Probably you're right my warranty get troubled. The pickups weren't working anyway, we were just trying to save them. What else could we have done?

    Yeah, we were trying to fix the pickup so it would work. But it didn't.

    Hello guys, thank you for advice & attributes. Since many questions were raised, I went back to my luthier to get the multimeter readings for the pickups and recorded the process; here are the results. As I mentioned, the issue is entirely related to the coil. The recording was made on April 7...

    I don't think luthier may broke my pickups and it covered by plastic cover how can he damage to coil? In Istanbul some luthier may do unwind-rewind things but seymour duncan original delicious sound may be faded. all I want is for Seymour Duncan to rectify the grievance they've caused me. In...

    Hello my friend's been USA for 3 months with Work & Travel Program. He was working in WI, he bought these online in Seymour Duncan Official Website. He hasn't got physical receipt (not got a paper), he got receipt in mail-box.

    Hello, how could you decide the pups worked before they were packaged? Individual resistance reading values are 0.5 and 0.9K and (these values make think us there's poor contact in coil) not 6.78 and 6.55K (Antiquity II Surfer Strats has 6.78 and 6.55K DCR Values). We refresh the solder for 4...

    As you seen the pictures that I shared, multimeter reads 0.5K and 0.9K instead of reading around 6.6K, the other multimeter reads OC (Open Circuit). I asked my friend who bought them for me, “Is there any situation like drop, fall, impact products?” He said no, he’d carried the products in his...

    I am not familiar with the community rules yet, so please warn me if I am doing anything wrong. I have shared the video evidence of the dead pickups via this Google Drive link: "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jc9pLfB47cnmbepoubIEgpcTWzJKrYRT/view?usp=sharing"

    My luthier, who has 40 years of experience, was absolutely shocked. He said he has never encountered a brand new set of pickups with two 'dead on arrival' units in his entire career. He suggested to me SD pickups are the best in the world.
