Description
Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Bridge, Passive Mount, Black Metal Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Bridge delivers aggressive, articulate output designed specifically for extended-range instruments. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this ceramic-magnet humbucker cuts through dense tunings with clarity and punch, making it reliable firepower for heavy genres demanding definition across all seven strings on stage and in the studio.
Tone & Output Character
A 16.8 kΩ DC resistance with 5 kHz resonant peak produces a focused midrange presence and controlled high-end snap. The EQ curve (7/8/4) emphasizes mids and bass for thick, articulate response while keeping treble measured—this balance excels in down-tuned applications where clarity and punch cut through live mix without muddiness.
Construction & Specifications
Built with three large ceramic bar magnets, oversized metal oxide poles, and a nickel silver bottom plate, this pickup is vacuum wax-potted to eliminate microphonic squeal and feedback during live performance. The classic passive mount requires no modifications to standard guitar routing, and the four-conductor wiring allows for series/parallel coil-tapping flexibility to dial in your exact tone.
