Description
Seymour Duncan 8-String Pegasus Bridge, Passive Mount, BlkMetal Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 8-String Pegasus Bridge captures articulate, controlled aggression with tight string definition across all eight strings. This dual coil humbucker excels in extended-range recording where clarity and separation matter as much as output, making it ideal for producers tracking high-gain and moderate-gain tones with precision and definition.
Tone & Recording Character
Built with an Alnico 5 bar magnet and moderate output at 16.6k impedance, this pickup balances responsiveness with controlled aggression in the mix. The vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring clean tracking with minimal noise floor and reliable performance across extended-range tunings in the studio environment.
Design & Studio Integration
The nickel silver bottom plate and black metal cover provide both structural integrity and visual consistency on modern instruments. A 4-conductor cable offers wiring flexibility for session customization, and the passive mount design integrates seamlessly into bridge positions on 8-string instruments manufactured to standard specifications for straightforward studio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does passive mount mean, and will this fit my 8-string guitar?
Passive mount means the pickup uses a standard mounting ring design without active electronics, making installation straightforward on any 8-string instrument built to standard bridge specifications. Check that your guitar's bridge cavity matches 8-string Humbucker dimensions before ordering.
Is this pickup too quiet for metal and high-gain?
No. At 16.6k impedance, the Pegasus delivers moderate output that is perfectly suited to metal and djent; it prioritizes articulate string definition and separation over raw volume, so it pairs well with high-gain amplifiers and will cut through dense mixes without sounding thin.
What's the difference between the Pegasus and the Nazgûl 8-String?
Both are Seymour Duncan 8-string humbuckers, but the Pegasus emphasizes articulation and controlled aggression with moderate output, while the Nazgûl offers higher output and more aggressive voicing. Choose the Pegasus for clarity and separation; choose the Nazgûl if you want more raw power.
Will this pickup squeal or feedback on stage?
No. The vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring studio-quality tracking and reliable live performance even in high-gain contexts or extended-range tunings.
What cable comes with it?
The Pegasus includes a 4-conductor cable, which provides wiring flexibility for standard passive or custom switching configurations.
