Your cart is empty.Built for the Heaviest of Heavy Tones No matter how meek your guitar sounds with its stock pickups, the Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker will transform it into a high-octane riff machine. This high-output humbucker contains a mixture of hot overwound coils and girthy ceramic magnets, churning out scorching tones with plenty of depth and articulation. Meanwhile, oversized metal-oxide pole pieces produce an expansive magnetic field and an extra-wide frequency range, giving rise to massively thick sounds with a near-subsonic low-end response — especially in down-tuned scenarios. That said, Sweetwater guitarists also hold high regard for the crunchy treble of this pickup, which ensures a well-defined sound, no matter how deep you dare to plunge. Furthermore, the Invader humbucker houses a nickel-silver bottom plate, along with 4-conductor wiring for added flexibility and vacuum wax potting for microphonic-free operation. Metal-minded guitarists searching for a passive humbucker with an intimidating attitude will find

Took about 20 mins total to solder the pickups into place after finding the proper diagram on Seymour Duncan's website. Amazing sound and I'd recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their guitar.

I started with the neck pickup in the bridge position (which is the same way the Tom Delonge guitar is set up) but I liked it so much that I got this bridge humbucker to complete the guitar. It sounds great!

Added to my Annihilator replica guitar the Seymour Duncan SH-8B Invader Humbucker is a powerhouse bridge pickup! With its high output and aggressive tone, it delivers incredible depth and clarity, perfect for heavy rock and metal styles. A must-have upgrade for any guitarist seeking bold, dynamic sound!

Installed on a Epiphone Junior. After much research, I found these sound, by ear, as good as actives. Highly recommend: turned my $150 sounding guitar to a $500 sounding one.

Back in 1988 I had a Fender Strat custom built to my specs and one of the main requests was take out that terrible Fender stock pickup and put in a Duncan Invader. Just one at the bridge. That was all I need. I have used numerous humbuckers since and nothing has ever made me feel the way I did about that Invader. Its sound is heavy/clean/sweet to the ear. The fact it has such low noise makes it perfect with out using a gate during recording. I still use a gate but not because of any noise. If you have not tried an Invader I suggest you do. You can't go wrong.

This is an excellent pickup. Along with the SD neck pickup I installed, my Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro IV now sound as good or maybe better than my much higher-priced Gibson. Highly recommended!

If you play any kind of chuggy or just aggressive styles of music, you need to try this out. I wouldn't say it's my favorite sounding pickup, but dang does it deliver.Not the most versatile pickup though. Although it did get some nice blues, jazz, funk, etc. tone out of it with the right EQ and effects.

..e niente.. garanzia Seymour Duncan, come da aspettative.. è un mostro.Esce direttamente Satana dall' amplificatore.L'ho messo al ponte su una Gibson Les Paul custom, collegato ad una testata Mesa-boogie dual rectifire del 93, la migliore delle varie serie, quindi si ok..la base era già potentissima, ma ora alla prima nota ti arriva proprio un pugno in faccia.Un suono grintoso e potentissimo ma allo stesso tempo caldo, preciso ed estremamente definito.La ritmica è di una potenza che fa paura, lo stoppato sembra un martello pneumatico e gli assoli escono di volume senza bisogno di boost o pedali aggiuntivi.Ho dovuto togliere un po' di gain e di bassi perché facendo hardcore-punk alla vecchia, tenendoli al livello di prima il suono sconfinava quasi nel grund-core.In realtà , calibrando una buona equalizzazione sull' amplificatore e abbassando molto il gain ci si può suonare benissimo anche del rock classico ma avendo una presenza massiccia che esce dal mix in maniera armoniosa.Il pulito beh..diciamo che non è completamente pulito. Anche al minimo è comunque abbastanza saturo (almeno su una Mesa-boogie.. magari su un altro ampli è più gestibile) ma chi compra un pickup come questo generalmente è perché vuole tutt'altro che un suono pulito. Questo perché l'ho cablato full humbucker, probabilmente splittando le due bobine si può ottenere un suono più docile, ma non era quello che cercavo. Io cercavo una bestia e con sto pickup di bestie ne è arrivata una mandria intera. Madonna che sberla in faccia.. ho appena spento l'ampli e sono ancora gasato.Se vuoi la viullenza pura vai tranquillo, è questo il pickup che ti serve

Despues de una semana de uso solo puedo decir cosas buenas. Que quede claro, esta pastilla es solo para tocar metal pero a pesar de tener una ganacia brutal, suena todo perfectamente definido. Las notas de los acordes suenan mucho mas limpias que con las de serie (unas Dean de gama media-baja) por mucha caña que metas y es facil conseguir tonos desde los Metallica de toda la vida a cosas mas modernas. El envio fue rapido y el precio el mas bajo de todo internet.

J'adore le ton et ce qu'il envoie.Je l'utilise avec un ampli à lampes haut gain et il est monté en chevalet sur une Jackson MIJ des 90's.Comparé à un Dimarzio X2N, il n'y a pas photo, ce micro est plus chaleureux avec plus d'harmonique et un super grain. Parfait pour faire du gros metal, mais manque de polyvalence.

Very clean sound and very good gain. I have it in my telecaster.

simple to install, even though the instructions are a little misleading, and fits pretty well into my les paul replica. does the job well, doesnt squeal and feedback like cheap stock pickups, and has a perfect sound for drop tuned, overdriven songs. have been used thoroughly since purchase and not a problem since. teams well with power slinky ernie balls in drop c to drop b flat.get these, and youre basically alan ashby already.
