Seymour Duncan Pegasus Bridge Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan Pegasus Bridge Pickup - Black

The Pegasus delivers articulate, harmonically rich tone with impressive clarity across the frequency spectrum. Originally engineered for extended-range instruments, this bridge pickup earned immediate demand from 6-string players seeking responsive aggression without sacrificing musicality. Its balanced character works equally well on clean tones and high-gain distortion, making it a reliable workhorse for progressive metal, djent, and beyond.

Live Performance & Tone

A prominent midrange and focused low end create the Pegasus's signature warmth and responsiveness, while the high resonant peak delivers sparkle in the top end and exceptional chord bloom under distortion. Pick attack remains accurate and tight-tracking, cutting through a crowded mix on stage and maintaining precise transient definition whether you're tracking in the studio or jamming live.
