Seymour Duncan Nazgul/Sentient Toxic Yellow Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Nazgul/Sentient Toxic Yellow Pickup Set

The Nazgul/Sentient pairing delivers a dynamic high-output bridge and articulate neck combination that cuts through on stage with clarity across the frequency spectrum. The Toxic Yellow finish catches the eye under lights while the pickups themselves excel in modern and classic heavy music, offering tight low-end definition paired with expressive midrange character. The contrast between ceramic and Alnico magnets creates a balanced set that maintains definition at volume during live gigs.

Magnet & Output Characteristics

The Nazgul bridge pickup uses a large ceramic magnet for aggressive output and focused articulation that punches through a mix, while the Sentient neck pickup employs an Alnico 5 bar magnet for warmer, more responsive tone that stays musical under your fingers. This asymmetrical magnet pairing ensures the bridge cuts through without sacrificing the neck's musicality and sustain during live performance.

Construction & Reliability

Hand-built in the Santa Barbara, CA factory, these pickups are vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback and squeal—critical for gigging musicians who need rock-solid performance night after night. The 4-conductor lead wire on both pickups enables multiple wiring configurations, allowing you to customize split-coil or series/parallel switching to dial in your exact sound.
