Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Bridge, Active Mount, Soapbar Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Bridge captures aggressive, articulate high-output tone in a compact soapbar format engineered for extended-range recording and production work. This active-mount pickup cuts through dense mixes with clarity and punch, making it essential for tracking modern metal and progressive sessions where definition across all seven strings drives the final mix.
Tone & Output Character
Built with three large ceramic magnets and oversized metal oxide pole pieces, this pickup generates high output with a 19.5K DCR that prioritizes midrange aggression and treble articulation. The ceramic magnet design combined with vacuum wax potting ensures consistent tracking performance and minimal microphonic noise, delivering tight, responsive articulation that translates accurately during fast-picking passes and complex chord voicing sessions on extended-range guitars.
Construction & Design
Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, the Invader features a nickel silver bottom plate and black soapbar cover with exposed hex poles, providing both durability and refined sonic coupling. The 4-conductor lead wire grants wiring flexibility for various studio configurations, while the active mount configuration simplifies installation in guitars designed for this standard.
