Seymour Duncan Invader Active Mount Humbucker 8 String Neck (Black)

The Invader Active Mount Humbucker 8 String Neck delivers ultra-high output engineering tailored for extended-range guitars requiring active-style mounting. Seymour Duncan designed this neck-position passive humbucker to balance the aggression of the bridge Invader, trading visual intimidation for warm, controlled low-end response. Ceramic magnets and a 9.7k DC resistance rating generate substantial signal without the harshness typical of high-output designs. This is the SH-8 platform adapted for eight-string players who need drop-tuned clarity without sacrificing articulation.

The pickup uses four-conductor shielded cable for flexible wiring configurations including coil-splitting and series-parallel switching. DC resistance measures 9.7k ohms at the neck position, driven by ceramic magnets that provide consistent frequency response across all eight strings. Active mounting dimensions accommodate ESP-style routing without modification, while the passive circuitry maintains dynamic response to pick attack. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the Invader combines aggressive output levels with restrained midrange voicing that complements high-gain amplification without muddiness.
