This Invader SH-8 B is a powerhouse pickup, especially for 7-string players needing serious low-end grunt. It's got a raw, aggressive edge perfect for modern metal, but the wiring options let you dial back the intensity when needed. A solid choice for players who want a high-output, versatile humbucker without sacrificing clarity.
Product Description
Seymour Duncan Invader SH-8 B Passive Mount 7, Pickup Invader
- The name is an omen with this pickup
- which is here in a bridge version for seven-strings. The Invader sounds as dangerous as its name
- and the look is 100 percent correct. Due to its wide ceramic magnetic field
- the Invader sounds treble-rich at all power levels
- but above all clear in the bass range
- which is a must with 7 string guitars
- after all you want power in the low-end
- no frequency swamp!
- For other circuit variants
- 4 connection cables are available
- so the pickup with a single coil or parallel circuit can sound quite tame. Recommended!
- Humbucker pickup
- For 7-string guitars
- Bridge position
- Colour: Black
- *Note: Register your product at www.w-distribution.de/Warranty and extend the warranty to 4 years.*

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike some 7-string pickups that get muddy in the low frequencies, the Invader’s wide ceramic magnet keeps things tight and defined, preventing that frequency swamp.
Absolutely, the Invader's high output and strong magnetic field handle drop tunings exceptionally well, maintaining clarity and punch even with significantly lowered tuning.
Coil-splitting tames the Invader's aggression, but the ceramic magnet still imparts a characteristic edge; it's usable for funk, but won’t deliver a truly warm, vintage single-coil tone.
