Seymour Duncan 8-String Pegasus Bridge, Active Mount, Soapbar Matte Black Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Pegasus bridge pickup delivers aggressive, articulate output across all eight strings with the clarity and separation extended-range players demand. Its high-output character cuts through dense tunings while maintaining definition on each string, making it a reliable choice for modern metal and progressive applications where every note needs to speak clearly on stage. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup pairs with the Sentient neck model to create a balanced, responsive 8-string system ready for gigging.

Tone & Output Character

Rated for high output with a 16.6K DC resistance, the Pegasus generates substantial midrange punch and upper-harmonic aggression ideal for bridge-position demands. The Alnico V bar magnet provides the dynamic response and harmonic complexity that distinguishes this design from ceramic alternatives, preserving note definition even at high gain—essential for live performance where clarity matters.

Construction & Materials

Built with Alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, and 4-conductor lead wire, this pickup is vacuum wax potted for resonance control and feedback resistance—critical for the road and stage environments. The black soapbar cover with exposed pole pieces combines functional aesthetics with the direct magnet interaction that players expect from a workhorse bridge pickup.
