Description
Seymour Duncan 7-String Nazgûl Bridge, Passive Mount, Matte Black Pickup
The Nazgûl bridge pickup delivers aggressive, articulate high-output performance designed specifically for extended-range 7-string instruments. This passive humbucker combines ceramic magnet clarity with tight low-end definition, making it ideal for modern metal, progressive, and djent applications where string separation and punch are non-negotiable.
Tone & Output Character
With a 16.7K DC resistance and 4.28 kHz resonant peak, the Nazgûl produces scooped mids and aggressive treble articulation that cuts through dense, distorted tones on stage. The ceramic magnet construction emphasizes snap and aggression while maintaining note definition across all seven strings, even at extreme gain settings.
Construction & Reliability
Factory-wax potted with a nickel silver bottom plate, this pickup eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal under high-gain conditions—critical for reliable live performance. The 4-wire plus shield conductor configuration provides wiring flexibility and balanced shielding, while soldered connectivity ensures rock-solid durability through the rigors of gigging and touring.
