Description
Seymour Duncan 8-String Invader Bridge, Passive Mount, Matte Black Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 8-String Invader Bridge captures aggressive, high-output tones engineered specifically for extended-range instruments in the studio. This passive humbucker cuts through mixes in both tight, palm-muted riff sections and articulate lead passages across all eight strings, with ceramic magnets and oversized pole pieces designed to handle the lower frequencies of modern tunings while maintaining clarity in your recordings.
Tone & Output Characteristics
A 22.1K DCR and ceramic magnet configuration produce the high output character Invaders are known for—punchy midrange with defined treble articulation and controlled bass response that tracks well across multitrack sessions. The three large ceramic bar magnets and oversized metal oxide poles ensure consistent magnetic pull across the full 8-string width without muddiness, allowing each string to translate clearly during tracking and mixing.
Construction & Specifications
Built with a nickel silver bottom plate and vacuum wax potted internals for noise rejection and structural stability, minimizing hum and interference during recording sessions. The 4-conductor lead wire supports flexible wiring options for studio configurations, and the humbucker passive mount fits standard routing on compatible 8-string instruments.
