Frequently asked questions
Which pickup works for eight-string guitars?
Only the 8-String Invader Bridge is designed for eight-string instruments. The 7-String Invader Neck is engineered for seven-string guitars and their specific extended frequency response needs.
What's the output difference between these two?
The 7-String Neck has 7.2 kΩ DCR (moderate output for articulation), while the 8-String Bridge has 22.1 kΩ DCR (high output for aggressive punch). Higher DCR means more volume and sustain.
Do these pickups fit my guitar without modification?
The 7-String Neck uses passive mount and fits standard seven-string neck cavities. The 8-String Bridge uses active mount and requires a guitar routed for active pickups; passive-routed guitars need routing modification.
Which is better for djent and progressive metal?
Both excel in djent and progressive metal. The 7-String Neck works for seven-string applications with vocal midrange definition; the 8-String Bridge suits eight-string instruments with extreme gain and tight low-end control.
