Seymour Duncan Invader Neck Pickup Black | High Output Electric Guitar Pickup

• Installing an Invader changes your guitar’s DNA. No matter how dangerous your stock pickup claims to sound, the Invader will transform your guitar into the mean, heavy-sounding beast you always knew it could be. The Invader’s power comes from the combination of specially overwound coils, three large ceramic magnets, and its striking, oversized metal oxide pole pieces.
• These unique pole pieces expand the overall magnetic field and widen the frequency spectrum, which is why every note played through an Invader sounds so rich and massive. The ceramic magnets add depth and clarity while the large hex caps deliver smooth string-to-string balance.
• The Invader delivers the thickest, deepest low-end response of any passive pickup we make. Chords sound almost subsonic with lower tunings, but balance nicely with the crunchy treble, keeping everything well defined. While the Invader bridge looks mean and vicious, because it is mean and vicious, the Invader neck humbucker is surprisingly warm and smooth, despite its intimidating looks, and yields a thick crunch and moaning sustain.
• Handmade in Santa Barbara, California: Seymour Duncan takes pride in designing and crafting our products to create the most amazing sound possible. That starts with providing an environment that attracts and retains our great team of engineers, product designers and craftsmen, many of whom have been with the company for decades.
• DCR Neck: 7.50, Magnet: Ceramic, 4c Shielded Cable

• Ensure your electric guitar's pickup cavity is compatible with a standard humbucker. Measure the cavity and compare with the pickup dimensions (4.05" L x 2.8" W x 1.7" H). Gather necessary tools: soldering iron, solder, wire strippers, screwdrivers, and potentially a new pickguard or mounting rings. — Prepare for Installation
• Follow the Seymour Duncan wiring diagram for the Invader Neck pickup. Connect the 4-conductor shielded cable to your guitar's volume and tone controls, and selector switch. Ensure correct hot and ground connections for optimal performance and noise reduction. — Wire the Pickup
• Install the pickup into the neck position cavity. Adjust the pickup height using the mounting screws. Closer to the strings yields higher output and more aggressive tone; further away provides a cleaner, more dynamic sound. Experiment to find your preferred balance. — Mount and Adjust Height
