The Invader Is The Best Guitar Pickup
What players and reviewers say
On the Railhammer Chisel
“The Chisel is comparable in output to the JB but tighter in the lows, without the upper midrange peak that gives the JB its distinctive lead tone.”
On the Seymour Duncan Invader (SH-8)
“Invader was muddy, and the JB's mids were annoying in the SG.”
“I wouldn't want a super thin pickup in the neck with a super thick one in the bridge, which is why I wouldn't through a Jazz in alder with an Invader bridge.”
