Seymour DuncanNazghul 8-String Passive Guitar Pickup Black Metal Bridge
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Nazghul is a passive 8-string bridge pickup with a large ceramic magnet and black metal cover. Its aggressive voice is aimed at down-tuned chugging, with a modest midrange lift intended to bring definition to the B and F# strings. It is made for heavy gain and ruthless attack, yet the design is described as keeping notes fluid and articulate. For a coordinated 8-string pickup arrangement, it is intended to work with a Sentient neck pickup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Down-tuned 8-string chugging where aggressive response and B and F# string definition matter.
- A heavy-gain 8-string bridge position paired with a Sentient neck pickup.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
