A set that has become a reference for low tunings

Very popular among modern metal guitarists, the Nazgûl/Sentient set has established itself as a reliable solution when seeking an aggressive and articulate bridge pickup paired with a neck pickup capable of remaining clear on rich harmonies. In Raw Nickel finish, it maintains a sober and premium look that fits both modern-styled and more classic guitars.

For which guitarists and styles?

This set is aimed at musicians who want a humbucker pickup set capable of handling high gain levels while maintaining excellent note separation. The Nazgûl (bridge) excels on heavy rhythms, complex chords, and sharp attacks, while the Sentient (neck) shines on fluid leads, detailed arpeggios, and refined clean tones. Ideal if you play in low tunings and demand precision, punch, and dynamics.

Two personalities, one same requirement: definition and impact

At the bridge, the Nazgûl is designed to deliver a high output feel with an effective balance: tight lows, present mids, and cutting highs to stand out in the mix without effort. It remains clear on fast palm mutes and maintains convincing articulation even when the playing becomes very technical.

At the neck, the Sentient offers a warmer and rounder response, with a "modern vintage" character often compared to a PAF spirit, but with clarity and sustain better suited to current saturations. The result: crystalline cleans, singing leads, and generous sustain without losing definition on chords rich in harmonics.
