Seymour Duncan Invader Black Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Invader Black Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan Invader Black delivers aggressive, high-output tone with exceptional clarity and definition. Built for players pushing heavy genres on stage who demand punchy mids, extended lows, and articulate highs without sacrificing note separation, this set excels in high-gain applications while remaining versatile enough for rock and alternative work. The ceramic magnet construction and overwound coils produce a thick, muscular response that cuts through dense band mixes and stands up to relentless touring use.

Tone & Output Characteristics

Built with three ceramic bar magnets and overwound coils, the Invaders deliver serious output with a strong midrange punch and compressed attack. The neck pickup measures 7.2 kOhm while the bridge reaches 16.8 kOhm DC resistance, providing a balanced yet powerful set suited to high-gain amplification. Vacuum wax potting eliminates feedback and squealing for stable, controlled performance at any volume—critical for live settings where reliability defines your set.
