Seymour Duncan Pickups - It's all about tone!

Built to sound as mean as it looks, the Invader SH-8 is the ideal pickup for any kind of aggressive music. Capable of producing some of the heaviest tones a passive pickup can conjure, the Invader SH-8 merges three ceramic magnets, over-wound coils, and 12 oxide cap screws to create an extremely powerful pickup. The wide magnetic field makes it easy to pump a ton of signal through your amp, really pushing the gain. Drive your tone to metal mayhem extremes with the Invader SH-8!

Sound
The Invader SH-8 is an ultra-high-output humbucker built for aggressive playing styles. It's recommended for punk, garage, thrash, metal, and other heavy rock styles. The Invader SH-8 is designed for the heaviest tones a passive pickup can produce. The combination of three ceramic magnets, over-wound coils and twelve black oxide cap screws make the Invader an electrifying force of energy. The wide magnetic field pumps power into your amp with a totally heavy sound. The SH-8 comes with four-conductor hookup cable to facilitate complex pickup switching configurations.

Michael

I've tried a few pickups mainly shooting towards metal and man have I found the sound all the others was missing. The "Invader" bridge pickup brought my guitar alive with sustain and the huge sound I was lacking. Absolutely the best pickup I've found for anything Metal. Don't listen to reviews that say ah them pickups are muddy. No there not and my.guitar is a basswood body Esp Ltd and they sound amazing make me wanna play around the clock. The chords ring out forever compared to others I've tried. Give them a try trust me you want be disappointed.

Great In your face sound

This pickup I have in another guitar and always liked the "in your face" sound, so I added it to another guitar and couldn't be happier.
Rated 5/5

Invader

This is the pick up for classic metal (early Metallica/ Megadeth). If you like you pickup to have thick full sound without the harsh highs this is it.
