What players and reviewers say
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.”
On the Seymour Duncan Pegasus
“The Pegasus looks like it has a scooped midrange..”
