What players and reviewers say
On the Seymour Duncan Nazgul
“But the Nazgul and DD will come across as hotter/more aggressive due to their midrange.”
“Nazgul 8 - The strong treble, midrange and attenuated bass works very well with the lower notes and retains clarity.”
On the Seymour Duncan Pegasus
“The Pegasus looks like it has a scooped midrange..”
