The Seymour Duncan Pegasus is a bridge–position passive humbucker designed to meet the demands of progressive metal players who require both clarity and power from their seven–string guitars. Built around an Alnico V magnet with a medium output wind, this pickup delivers articulation across complex chord voicings without sacrificing the aggression required for modern high–gain playing. The 16.6k DCR resistance strikes a careful balance between output level and frequency response, ensuring note separation remains intact even under heavy distortion.
Seymour Duncan wound this humbucker in their USA facility using four–conductor shielded cable, enabling coil–splitting and phase–reversal wiring options for players seeking tonal flexibility beyond the standard humbucker voicing. The Alnico V magnet structure provides strong harmonic content in the upper midrange while maintaining controlled low–end response – essential for seven–string tunings where clarity can quickly deteriorate. The black cover houses a passive mount design that drops directly into standard humbucker routes without modification.
