Sentient 8-String Passive Mount Humbucker (Black Metal Cover)

Well suited for modern metal players, the Sentient 8-String Passive Mount from Seymour Duncan is a humbucking pickup with a black metal cover for use in the neck position. It produces an articulate vintage output that works equally well for clean and distorted tones. The pickup features an alnico 5 bar magnet to deliver a versatile tone that fits between the '59 Model and the Jazz neck pickup. The Sentient provides pristine cleans for intricate chordal and single-note runs with fluid leads under high gain. The pickup's output offers enhanced dynamics with a wide harmonic range and works well for low tunings in all humbucker-equipped guitars. The Sentient also features a nickel-silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. Like all Seymour Duncan pickups, the Sentient is carefully hand built in Santa Barbara, CA.
