Seymour Duncan SH-8n & b Invader Set, Lime Green Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Invader set is built for players who need aggressive, articulate tone night after night. This matched pair combines a high-output bridge pickup with a carefully voiced neck pickup, giving you responsive dynamics and cutting sustain across the fretboard without losing clarity. The striking lime green finish stands out on stage and in the studio.

Tone & Output Character

The SH-8b bridge generates substantial output at 16.8k DC resistance for aggressive attack and thick saturation, while the SH-8n neck sits at a much lower 7.2k DC resistance, preserving articulation and note separation in the upper register. This asymmetrical pairing lets you dial in different response characteristics between neck and bridge without compromising either position.

Construction & Design

Vacuum wax-potted coils eliminate feedback and squealing for reliable live performance, while wide pole pieces accommodate both standard humbucker and Trembucker string spacing. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with over-wound construction, these pickups are engineered for durability and consistent output through extensive touring and daily use.

Key Features

  • 3 large ceramic bar magnets per pickup
  • Bridge: 16.8k DC resistance; Neck: 7.2k DC resistance
  • Over-wound coils for enhanced output and sustain
  • Vacuum wax-potted for squeal-free operation
  • Nickel-silver baseplates

  • 12 black oxide cap screws included

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the bridge and neck pickups in this set?

The bridge pickup (SH-8b) runs 16.8k DC resistance for maximum output, aggressive attack, and thick saturation ideal for heavy rhythm work. The neck pickup (SH-8n) sits at 7.2k DC resistance, preserving articulation and note separation for cleaner lead lines and chords. This asymmetrical design lets you harness different response characteristics in each position without compromising either.

Will these pickups fit my guitar if it has a Trembucker routing?

Yes. Both pickups feature wide pole pieces that accommodate standard humbucker and Trembucker string spacing, so they'll work in guitars with either bridge type.

What's included in the set?

The set includes both the SH-8b bridge and SH-8n neck pickups, 12 black oxide cap screws, and a four-conductor hookup cable for wiring flexibility.

Are these pickups feedback-prone in high-gain settings?

No. The coils are vacuum wax-potted to eliminate feedback and squealing, making them studio-ready and live-reliable even under extreme gain and saturation.

What genres are these pickups best suited for?

The Invader set is engineered for metal, hard rock, djent, and drop tunings where aggressive attack, cutting sustain, and articulate dynamics are essential. They are not designed for jazz, blues, or folk applications.

Do I pay sales tax on this order?
