Seymour Duncan Pegasus Active Mount Bridge Humbucker 8 String (Black)

The Seymour Duncan Pegasus Active Mount is an 8-string bridge humbucker designed explicitly for progressive metal guitarists using extended-range instruments routed for active pickups. This passive humbucker in an active-sized housing delivers medium output with exceptional note separation and clarity. Loaded with Alnico 5 magnets, it balances aggression and articulation across all eight strings, ensuring complex chord voicings and rapid riffing remain defined even under high gain.

With a DC resistance of 16.6k, the Pegasus bridges the gap between vintage warmth and modern attack required for contemporary metal. The pickup ships with four-conductor shielded cable, enabling split-coil and parallel wiring options beyond standard series humbucker operation. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this bridge-position humbucker drops directly into active-routed cavities without modification. The black soapbar casing maintains a clean aesthetic while the Alnico 5 magnetic structure provides the harmonic complexity and dynamic response that passive designs offer over true active circuitry.
