Frequently Asked Questions
What tunings and genres is this pickup built for?
The 7-String Invader Bridge is engineered for drop tunings and extended-range playing, excelling in metal, progressive rock, and hard rock. Its high output and ceramic magnet deliver the aggression and clarity needed to cut through heavy, detuned tones without muddiness.
How does the ceramic magnet affect the tone compared to alnico?
The ceramic bar magnet provides an aggressive bite and snap essential for palm-muted riffs and lead articulation, with a pronounced 5 kHz resonant peak that pushes midrange presence and sustain—ideal for high-gain applications where definition matters.
What does vacuum wax potting do?
Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal and feedback, which is critical when playing high-gain amplifiers or in live settings with extended-range tunings. This ensures feedback-free performance whether on stage or in the studio.
Is this pickup passive or active, and what mounting does it use?
This is a passive humbucker with a passive mount configuration, meaning it does not require a battery and integrates easily into standard guitar wiring. Four-conductor wiring allows for coil-split and series/parallel switching if desired.
What specs should I know before ordering?
DC resistance is 16.8 kΩ, with a 5 kHz resonant peak. It features a nickel silver bottom plate, matte black metal cover, and is handmade in Santa Barbara, CA. Measure your 7-string bridge cavity to confirm passive mounting compatibility.
