Frequently asked questions
Which pickup fits my guitar?
Holcomb Scourge is a traditional humbucker for 6-string guitars. Pegasus is a soapbar-format 8-string humbucker with active mount; verify your guitar's body routing and string count before purchasing.
What's the output difference?
Pegasus has a higher DC resistance (16.6K) than Holcomb Scourge (11.06K), meaning Pegasus delivers more output and sustain—especially important for extended-range tunings where string tension is lower.
Can I coil-split either pickup?
Holcomb Scourge has 4-conductor plus shield wiring that enables coil-splitting and phase switching. Pegasus has 4-conductor lead wire but is optimized as-is for 8-string bridge use without switching flexibility.
Which is better for progressive metal?
Both suit progressive metal, but Holcomb Scourge excels on 6-string for tight, articulate riffing and Mark Holcomb's proven tone. Pegasus is built for 8-string progressive applications where extended range and output matter most.
