Seymour DuncanNazgul 8-String Active Guitar Pickup Soapbar Bridge
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Nazgul is an active-mount, soapbar-style bridge pickup for 8-string guitars, built around a large ceramic magnet and an aggressive high-gain voice. It is aimed at down-tuned chugging, with a slightly stronger midrange focus to bring definition to B and F# strings. The result is a forceful attack without giving up fluid, articulate note movement when gain is pushed. Exposed adjustable pole pieces complete the format. For a matched neck position, it is designed to work with the Sentient neck pickup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Down-tuned 8-string chugging riffs that call for aggressive attack and clearer B and F# definition.
- High-gain 8-string bridge work where individual notes need to remain fluid and articulate.
