Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Humbucker Pickup Set

The Pegasus/Sentient medium-output humbucker pickup set offers progressive players the ultimate palette of modern metal tones.

The Pegasus bridge was originally designed for extended-range instruments. However, 6-string players immediately demanded Seymour Duncan offer a version to call their own. It incorporates an Alnico 5 bar magnet and custom winding specs. The goal was to deliver a warm, balanced, responsive and lush tone for progressive metal. It’s a harmonically rich pickup with a prominent midrange and a focused low end. The high resonant peak makes for a sparkly top end and an incredible "bloom" on chords in high-gain situations. The responsive and accurate pick attack ensures that you will cut through any live mix and will have tight-tracking transients in a studio environment. Because the Pegasus is a moderate output pickup, it works as well for clean tones as it does for distorted tones.

The Sentient neck delivers a balanced, versatile tone that fits right between the ’59 model and the Jazz neck pickup. You’ll get pristine cleans and fluid leads under high gain. The Sentient is a very articulate vintage output pickup with great dynamic response and a wide harmonic range. It works great for low tunings in all humbucker-equipped guitars.

Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA, factory, the Pegasus and Sentient medium-output humbucker pickups both feature an Alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. 6-string & 7-string progressive metal players rejoice ... this calibrated set of Pegasus and Sentient medium-output humbucker pickups deliver the perfect blend of articulation and aggression.
