Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Bridge, Active Mount, Soapbar Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Bridge delivers aggressive, articulate high-output tone in a compact soapbar format designed specifically for extended-range instruments. This active-mount pickup cuts through dense live mixes with clarity and punch, making it a trusted choice for modern metal and progressive players who demand definition across all seven strings on stage and in the studio.
Tone & Output Character
Built with three large ceramic magnets and oversized metal oxide pole pieces, this pickup generates high output with a 19.5K DCR that prioritizes midrange aggression and treble articulation. The ceramic magnet design combined with vacuum wax potting ensures consistent performance night after night and minimal microphonic noise, delivering tight, responsive articulation ideal for fast picking and complex chord voicings on extended-range guitars.
Construction & Design
Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, the Invader features a nickel silver bottom plate and black soapbar cover with exposed hex poles, providing both durability and a refined aesthetic that stands up to road use. The 4-conductor lead wire grants wiring flexibility, while the active mount configuration simplifies installation in guitars designed for this standard.
