Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Matte Black Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Matte Black Pickup Set

The Pegasus/Sentient pairing delivers articulate, controlled output with enough headroom for tight, defined lows and vocal mids. Built for gigging musicians and studio players who demand clarity and precision without sacrificing punch, this set maintains definition across drop tunings and standard tuning equally well, regardless of genre.

Tone & Output Character

The bridge Pegasus (12.5 kΩ) produces aggressive attack with controlled sustain, while the neck Sentient (7.75 kΩ) balances warmth and articulation for smooth lead work. The resonant peaks at 5.16 kHz (bridge) and 6.48 kHz (neck) ensure each pickup cuts through a live mix without harshness, delivering punchy fundamentals and defined harmonic content across the frequency spectrum.

Construction & Materials

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, each pickup uses Alnico 5 Bar magnets and nickel silver bottom plates for reliable stage performance and consistent tonal response. The vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures stable operation even under load, critical for dependable live use.
