Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Bridge, Passive Mount, Black Metal Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 7-String Invader Bridge is engineered to capture aggressive, articulate output across extended-range tracking and recording sessions. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this ceramic-magnet humbucker cuts through dense tunings with clarity and punch, delivering definition across all seven strings in heavy-genre productions where tracking definition is non-negotiable.
Tone & Output Character
A 16.8 kΩ DC resistance with 5 kHz resonant peak produces a focused midrange presence and controlled high-end snap that sits forward in dense mixes. The EQ curve (7/8/4) emphasizes mids and bass for thick, articulate tracking while keeping treble measured—this balance translates cleanly to down-tuned recordings where every string needs to remain distinct in the mix.
Construction & Session Specifications
Built with three large ceramic bar magnets, oversized metal oxide poles, and a nickel silver bottom plate, this pickup is vacuum wax-potted to eliminate microphonic squeal and feedback during recording. The classic passive mount drops into standard guitar routing without modification, and the four-conductor wiring enables series/parallel coil-tapping flexibility for production versatility across sessions.
