Seymour Duncan Pegasus 7-String Bridge Pickup – Passive Mount Humbucker

The Seymour Duncan Pegasus 7-String bridge pickup was originally developed for extended range instruments, and quickly became a favourite among 7 and 8-string players demanding clarity, balance, and harmonic depth.

Designed with an Alnico 5 bar magnet and custom winding specifications, the Pegasus delivers a warm, responsive, and lush tonal character tailored for progressive metal. It offers rich harmonics, a prominent midrange, and a focused low end that keeps complex riffs articulate and defined.

Balanced Power for Modern Players

The Pegasus features a moderate output, making it exceptionally versatile. Under high gain, its high resonant peak produces a sparkly top end and an impressive harmonic “bloom” on sustained chords. The accurate, responsive pick attack ensures you cut through any live mix while maintaining tight-tracking transients in studio recordings.

Unlike ultra-high-output pickups, the Pegasus retains clarity on clean settings, offering dynamic response and musical articulation across genres ranging from progressive metal to modern rock.

Premium USA Construction

Hand built in Seymour Duncan’s Santa Barbara, California factory, the Pegasus features a nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor shielded cable for multiple wiring options including coil splitting, and vacuum wax potting for squeal-free performance at stage volumes.
