Seymour Duncan 8-String Invader Bridge Pickup Black Metal

Description

11102-31-P-BlkM-8Str Ultra-high output with a huge sound, the Invader looks and sounds like no other pickup. The Invader is loud, vicious, and unapologetic. Somehow surprisingly, the Invader neck model matches intimidating looks with a warm, subdued tone, the perfect partner for the high-output Invader bridge humbucker. Installing an Invader changes your guitar’s DNA. No matter how dangerous your current pickup sounds, the Invader will turn your guitar into the mean, heavy-sounding beast you always knew it could be. The Invader’s power comes from the combination of specially overwound coils, three large ceramic magnets, and its striking oversized metal oxide pole pieces. These striking pole pieces expand the overall magnetic field and broaden the frequency spectrum, which is why every note played through an Invader sounds so rich and massive. The ceramic magnets add depth and clarity, while the large hex caps offer an even balance between the strings. The Invader delivers the thickest, deepest low-end response of any passive pickup we make. Chords sound almost subsonic with lower tunings, but they balance well with crispy trebles, keeping everything well-defined. While the Invader bridge looks mean and vicious, because it is mean and vicious, the Invader neck humbucker is surprisingly warm and smooth, despite its intimidating looks, and produces a strong crunch and sustained wail. Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, the Invader features three large ceramic bar magnets, oversized metal oxide pole pieces, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
