Seymour Duncan Nazgûl/Sentient Rail 7-String Matte Black Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Nazgûl/Sentient Rail 7-String Matte Black Pickup Set

This Nazgûl/Sentient Rail set delivers aggressive high-output performance paired with articulate, responsive neck-position clarity—a pairing engineered specifically for extended-range 7-string instruments. The rail-style design provides consistent output across the entire string width, eliminating dead spots and ensuring balanced response whether driving heavy riffs or executing precise lead work. Hand-built in Santa Barbara by Seymour Duncan, these pickups combine traditional humbucker character with modern high-output construction.

Tone & Output Character

The Nazgûl bridge pickup (16.24k DCR) delivers the aggressive, punchy output that defines modern metal and hard rock applications, while the Sentient neck pickup (9.12k DCR) maintains clarity and articulation without sacrificing body or presence. Alnico 8 bar magnets provide strong magnetic pull and dynamic response, ensuring note definition remains intact at high gain.

Construction & Specifications

Vacuum wax-potted construction eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures long-term reliability on the road, while the 4-conductor lead wire enables flexible wiring options for your specific guitar setup. Rail-style design across both pickups guarantees consistent pickup response across all seven strings with no string-to-string output variation, critical for tight live performance and studio tracking.
