Description
Seymour Duncan 8-String Pegasus Bridge, Passive Mount, Matte Black Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 8-String Pegasus Bridge is a modern humbucker engineered specifically for extended-range instruments, capturing articulate response across all eight strings with minimal noise. This dual coil humbucker pairs aggressive clarity with controlled sustain, making it an ideal retrofit for producers and engineers tracking heavy tunings without sacrificing string definition in the mix.
Tone & Recording Character
Built with an Alnico 5 bar magnet and 14.92k DC resistance, this pickup produces moderate output that balances punch with note separation—essential for extended-range tracking where each string needs to cut through in a dense mix. The vacuum wax potted construction eliminates microphonic feedback and squealing, ensuring clean, usable signal integrity even at high gain levels during recording sessions.
Installation & Workflow
The classic passive mount design installs seamlessly into any guitar featuring traditional humbucker routing, requiring no modifications and minimizing downtime between sessions. Constructed with 4-conductor wiring, a nickel silver bottom plate, and finished in black metal humbucker cover, this pickup combines durability with professional aesthetics that translate across recording environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What gauge strings and tunings is this pickup designed for?
The Pegasus Bridge is engineered specifically for 8-string guitars and extended-range instruments tuned to drop tunings and lower registers. Its moderate output (14.92k DC resistance) and vacuum wax potted construction keep articulation clear and feedback-free even with heavy strings and high-gain amplification.
Will this pickup fit my current 8-string guitar?
Yes, if your guitar has traditional humbucker routing in the bridge position. The passive mount design requires no modifications—it drops straight in. Confirm your guitar has standard humbucker spacing and routing before purchasing.
How does the Pegasus compare to EMG and DiMarzio extended-range pickups?
The Pegasus delivers a balanced blend of aggressive clarity and controlled sustain with moderate output, sitting between the high-output punch of the EMG 81/85 and the voiced aggression of the DiMarzio Crunch Lab. It prioritizes note separation and feedback elimination, making it a solid choice for players who want definition without excessive output coloration.
Is this a passive or active pickup?
This is a passive pickup with no onboard electronics required. It features 4-conductor wiring for flexible switching options and connects directly to your guitar's volume and tone controls.
What does vacuum wax potted mean?
Vacuum wax potting seals the coils and internal components to eliminate microphonic feedback and squealing, ensuring stable signal integrity even at high gain levels. This makes the pickup ideal for studio and live use where feedback control is critical.
