Seymour Duncan Pegasus Bridge Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan Pegasus Bridge Pickup - Black

The Pegasus delivers articulate, harmonically rich tone with impressive clarity across the frequency spectrum. Originally engineered for extended-range instruments, this bridge pickup has become a go-to for engineers and producers tracking responsive aggression without sacrificing musicality in the mix. Its balanced character translates equally well to clean direct recordings and high-gain session work, making it a versatile choice for layering progressive metal arrangements and beyond.

Tone & Performance

Pick attack remains accurate and tight-tracking, guaranteeing precise transient capture in the studio and cut-through when overdubbing into aggressive gain structures.
