Seymour Duncan 8-String Distortion Neck, Passive Mount, Matte Black Pi

Seymour Duncan 8-String Distortion Neck, Passive Mount, Matte Black Pickup

This 8-string neck pickup delivers aggressive, articulate distortion tones with tight low-end definition across all eight strings. The high output and large ceramic magnet push front-end gain with clarity, making it equally capable of modern metal aggression and saturated rock crunch. Seymour Duncan's vacuum wax potting ensures squeal-free operation even at high gain settings—critical for stage reliability when pushing your rig to its limits.

Tone & Output Character

The 16.8K ohms DC resistance and large ceramic bar magnet create a potent, focused output suited to extended-range instruments that demand punch and articulation on stage. High output pairs with a nickel silver bottom plate to deliver tight, controlled lows without muddiness—essential for 8-string tunings where every note cuts through a live mix and stays defined under heavy distortion.

Design & Specifications

Built with a classic passive humbucker mount and 4-conductor lead wire for flexible wiring configurations, this pickup integrates seamlessly into standard humbucker cavities. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and road noise, and the matte black finish maintains a refined, professional look through touring and frequent gigs. Manufactured in Santa Barbara, CA by Seymour Duncan.
