Seymour Duncan 8-string Invader Neck Pickup Black Metal

Description

11102-29-P-BlkM-8Str Ultra-high output with enormous sound, Invader looks and sounds like no other pickup. The Invader is loud, vicious, and unapologetic. Somehow surprisingly, the Invader neck model pairs intimidating looks with a warm, understated sound, the perfect partner for the high-output Invader bridge humbucker. Installing an Invader changes your guitar's DNA. Regardless of how dangerous your pickup sounds, the Invader will transform your guitar into the mean, heavy-sounding beast you always knew it could be. The Invader's power comes from combining specially overwound coils, three large ceramic magnets, and its extraordinary oversized metal oxide poles. These extraordinary pole pieces expand the overall magnetic field and widen the frequency spectrum, which is why every note played through an Invader sounds so rich and massive. 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 balance well with crisp treble, 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 appearance, and produces a strong crunch and sustained wail. Hand-built in our Santa Barbara, California factory, Invader features three large ceramic bar magnets, oversized metal oxide poles, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
