Frequently asked questions
What's the main physical difference?
The 8-String is a soapbar pickup with active mount designed for active electronics cavities. The 7-String is a humbucker with passive mount that fits standard guitar routing without modification.
Which fits more guitars?
The 7-String Invader Bridge fits any standard 7-string or extended-range guitar with passive routing. The 8-String Invader Neck requires an existing active electronics cavity, making it less universally compatible.
Are these appropriate for the same genres?
Both excel in metal, djent, progressive, and drop-tuning applications. Both are unsuitable for jazz, blues, and folk. The main difference is the instrument platform: 8-string versus 7-string.
Do I need an amp or electronics upgrade to use either?
The 8-String Invader Neck requires a guitar already equipped with active electronics routing. The 7-String Invader Bridge is passive and works with any standard guitar wiring—no electronics upgrade needed.
