Description
Seymour Duncan Pegasus Bridge Pickup – Matte Black
The Seymour Duncan Pegasus bridge pickup captures articulate, balanced aggression without sacrificing note definition across the frequency spectrum. Its moderate output and carefully voiced EQ curve respond transparently to pick dynamics and playing technique, delivering clarity in high-gain tracking and musical definition at lower volumes for versatile session work. The matte black finish integrates seamlessly into modern and classic guitar aesthetics alike.
Tone & Electronics
Built on an Alnico 5 bar magnet with nickel silver bottom plate construction, this pickup produces punchy midrange presence balanced by articulate treble response and controlled bass extension. The 4-conductor lead wire enables flexible wiring options for series, parallel, and split configurations, letting you dial in the exact tonal palette and coil-tap functionality your mix demands.

Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, California, each pickup undergoes vacuum wax potting to eliminate microphonic feedback and ensure reliable performance across multiple takes and sessions. The moderate output level and precision magnet work combine to preserve harmonic overtones while maintaining tight, controlled response critical for bridge position clarity in dense arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What genres and playing styles is the Pegasus best suited for?
The Pegasus excels in metal, hard rock, and progressive contexts where articulation and note definition matter in high-gain settings. It's voiced for clarity and aggression, making it less ideal for blues and jazz applications that typically call for warmer, more forgiving pickups.
How does the Pegasus compare to other popular bridge pickups?
The Pegasus sits between the aggressive Screamin' Demon and the balanced DiMarzio D-Activator in the Seymour Duncan lineup, offering moderate output with preserved harmonic overtones. It provides tighter control than EMG 81/85 designs while maintaining responsive dynamics.
What wiring options does the 4-conductor lead wire support?
The 4-conductor lead enables series, parallel, and split coil configurations, letting you adapt the pickup to different tonal palettes and enable coil-tap options depending on your guitar's switching setup.
Is this pickup compatible with extended-range guitars?
Yes, the Pegasus is available in standard 6-string humbucker and Trembucker spacings and is compatible with 6, 7, and 8-string extended-range guitars.
What construction methods ensure reliability?
