Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Neck, Active Mount, Soapbar Pickup

Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Neck, Active Mount, Soapbar Pickup

The Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Neck delivers aggressive, articulate high-output performance in a compact soapbar form factor designed for extended-range guitars. This passive pickup mounts directly into active-sized routes, making it an efficient retrofit option for players upgrading their 7 or 8-string instruments without routing modifications. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, the Invader neck model balances raw power with controlled clarity across the lower frequencies.

Tone & Output Character

Powered by three large ceramic bar magnets and oversized metal oxide poles, this pickup generates substantial output with a 7.2 kΩ DC resistance and a resonant peak at 8 kHz that emphasizes articulation and string definition. The vacuum wax potting eliminates squeal and microphonic feedback, ensuring clean tones even at high gain—critical for maintaining clarity during live sets and studio tracking.

Design & Compatibility

The soapbar housing features a black cover with one row of exposed poles, presenting a clean aesthetic while maintaining the durability of traditional Seymour Duncan construction. The 4-conductor lead wire accommodates multiple wiring configurations, and the active-sized mount allows drop-in installation in any 7 or 8-string guitar with an active pickup rout—no additional work required, so you can get back to playing.
