Description
Seymour Duncan 8-String Pegasus Bridge, Passive Mount, BlkMetal Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 8-String Pegasus Bridge cuts through the mix with articulate, controlled aggression and tight string definition across all eight strings. This dual coil humbucker excels in extended-range applications where clarity and separation keep every note defined in high-gain and moderate-gain contexts alike, holding its own onstage and in the studio.
Tone & Electronics
Built with an Alnico 5 bar magnet and moderate output at 16.6k impedance, this pickup balances responsiveness with controlled aggression. The vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring studio-quality tracking and reliable live performance across extended-range tunings without feedback or noise issues.
Design & Construction
The nickel silver bottom plate and black metal cover provide both structural integrity and aesthetic consistency with modern instrument aesthetics. A 4-conductor cable offers wiring flexibility, and the passive mount design integrates seamlessly into bridge positions on 8-string instruments manufactured to standard specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does passive mount mean, and will this fit my 8-string guitar?
Passive mount means the pickup uses a standard mounting ring design without active electronics, making installation straightforward on any 8-string instrument built to standard bridge specifications. Check that your guitar's bridge cavity matches 8-string Humbucker dimensions before ordering.
Is this pickup too quiet for metal and high-gain?
No. At 16.6k impedance, the Pegasus delivers moderate output that is perfectly suited to metal and djent; it prioritizes articulate string definition and separation over raw volume, so it pairs well with high-gain amplifiers and will cut through dense mixes without sounding thin.
What's the difference between the Pegasus and the Nazgûl 8-String?
Both are Seymour Duncan 8-string humbuckers, but the Pegasus emphasizes articulation and controlled aggression with moderate output, while the Nazgûl offers higher output and more aggressive voicing. Choose the Pegasus for clarity and separation; choose the Nazgûl if you want more raw power.
Will this pickup squeal or feedback on stage?
No. The vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring studio-quality tracking and reliable live performance even in high-gain contexts or extended-range tunings.
What cable comes with it?
The Pegasus includes a 4-conductor cable, which provides wiring flexibility for standard passive or custom switching configurations.
