Description
Seymour Duncan 8-String Invader Bridge, Passive Mount, Matte Black Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 8-String Invader Bridge is built for aggressive, high-output tones on extended-range instruments. This passive humbucker cuts through the mix on stage, handling tight, palm-muted riffs and articulate lead passages across all eight strings with ceramic magnets and oversized pole pieces engineered to lock in the lower frequencies of modern tunings without breakup.
Tone & Output Characteristics
A 22.1K DCR and ceramic magnet configuration deliver the high output punch Invaders are built for—punchy midrange with defined treble snap and controlled bass response. The three large ceramic bar magnets and oversized metal oxide poles maintain consistent magnetic pull across the full 8-string width, keeping every note tight and defined on a crowded stage.
Construction & Specifications
Built with a nickel silver bottom plate and vacuum wax potted internals for noise rejection and structural stability through road wear. The 4-conductor lead wire supports flexible wiring options, and the humbucker passive mount fits standard routing on compatible 8-string instruments for reliable drop-in installation.
