Seymour Duncan SH-8B-A-SB-7STR - INVADER 7 EASEL ACTIVE SB

An Invader That Has Become a Reference for Extreme Sounds

The SH-8 Invader has established itself as a pickup with an immediately recognizable look and a radical character. In the Seymour Duncan spirit, it aims for a clear goal: to offer one of the fattest and most aggressive sounds in the range, with huge presence and a signature that instantly transforms the personality of your 7-string guitar.

For Whom and Which Styles?

This guitar pickup is tailored for musicians who tune low and want a bridge pickup that doesn't get lost in the mix: modern metal, hardcore, djent, death, nu-metal, but also muscular hard rock. If you're looking for a sharp attack, harmonics that come out easily, and a "concrete" low end, the Invader 7 is an obvious candidate.

Design: Expanded Magnetic Field, Thick and Clear Notes

The power of the Invader comes from a specific architecture: large oversized poles combined with three ceramic magnets. This combination extends the magnetic field and broadens the frequency spectrum, resulting in denser notes, a "wall" of sound feel, while maintaining clarity in the signal. The hex-head screws contribute to a good balance between strings, particularly useful on a 7-string. Handmade in Santa Barbara, California, it is wax-potted to limit unwanted feedback at high gain, and its wide magnetic field allows comfort even with Floyd-style vibrato string spacing.
