Seymour Duncan 7-String Pegasus Bridge, Active Mount, Soapbar Matte Black Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 7-String Pegasus Bridge delivers articulate, punchy response with controlled dynamics in a compact soapbar form factor designed specifically for extended-range instruments. This medium-output pickup cuts through on stage by articulating string definition across all seven strings while maintaining clarity through aggressive playing styles. Built to exacting standards in Santa Barbara, it combines traditional craftsmanship with modern active mounting technology for secure, rattle-free performance that holds up under live conditions.
Tone & Output Characteristics
The Alnico 5 bar magnet paired with medium output yields a balanced tonal response suited to both percussive and sustained techniques. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring clean signal transmission even at high gain settings—essential for live performance reliability. The nickel silver bottom plate contributes to the pickup's overall resonance and structural integrity.
Design & Construction
This bridge-position-only model features a black soapbar cover with one row of exposed adjustable poles, allowing fine-tuned string balance and magnetic field shaping to dial in your live tone. The 4-conductor lead wire supports multiple wiring configurations to match your preamp or switching needs. Active mount construction keeps the pickup securely fastened without vibration, critical for stage reliability and maintaining tonal consistency across seven strings.
