The Seymour Duncan Pegasus 7-String Active Mount Soapbar Pickup is a medium output, articulate, bridge pickup created specifically for progressive metal players with extended range guitars and comes with a Soap Bar pickup cover.
The Pegasus was originally built for 7 and 8 string guitars. Rather than modifying a 6-string pickup to work with extended range guitars, Seymour Duncan started from scratch and built the Pegasus on a whole new platform. It incorporates an alnico 5 bar magnet and custom winding specs. The goal was to deliver a warm, balanced, responsive, and lush tone for progressive metal. It’s a harmonically rich pickup with a prominent midrange, and a focused low end. The high resonant peak makes for a sparkly top end and an incredible bloom on chords in high-gain situations. It’s a great pickup for both live playing, and recording. The responsive and accurate pick attack ensures that you will cut through any live mix, and will have tight-tracking transients in a studio environment. Because the Pegasus is a moderate output pickup, it works as well for clean tones as it does for distorted tones. This passive humbucker comes in choice of a standard open-coil look or black metal humbucker cover, both in a classic passive mount that easily fits in any guitar with traditional routing.
