Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Neck, Passive Mount, Matte Black Picku

Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Neck Pickup – Passive Mount, Matte Black

The Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Neck delivers aggressive output and tight articulation across extended-range instruments without sacrificing clarity in the lower register. Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, this overwound humbucker sits comfortably in traditional routing and pairs seamlessly with bridge-position companions. Players working in metal, progressive, and high-gain genres will find the response punchy and controlled even at extreme gain settings.

Tone & Output Character

An 8 kHz resonant peak coupled with 7.2 kΩ DC resistance yields a focused, articulate midrange that cuts through dense mixes on stage while maintaining definition on the low B and F# strings. The three large ceramic bar magnets and oversized metal oxide poles generate substantial output with natural compression that locks down palm-muted passages and sustains lead lines without flabbiness—essential for live reliability and consistent performance night after night.

Design & Construction

Built with vacuum wax potting for noise elimination and road durability, the pickup features a nickel silver bottom plate and four-conductor cable that enable flexible wiring options for any setup. The black metal humbucker cover provides both shielding and a professional appearance, while the classic passive mount design installs into standard routing without modification—keeping your rig simple and reliable.
