Seymour Duncan Pegasus 8-String Bridge PM BK

Hands down the best ERG pickups I?ve played in the price-range. Clarity of each string is amazing and they?re high enough output to achieve any tone you like.

At higher gain settings, attack and clarity really shine through so if you?re after that clear, precise tone, the Pegasus is amazing.

The combination of medium output and balanced tone makes it a real workhorse of a pickup and extremely versatile for any kind of modern tone. While they won?t reach the ?wall of sound? gain tones of something like the Black Winter, they?re right at home in that punchy, attack?driven, prog metal zone.

These characteristics also make it amazing for any clean tones that might be heavily loaded with effects. Lots of darker/less clear pickups can get ?swallowed? a little if you?re using delays/shimmer reverbs/etc. but the Pegasus handles anything you can throw at it and still lets the notes, attack and nuances in your playing shine through.

I was gonna go with a dimarzio but i figured i might as well get the best from the best.. Great sounding pickup, but it you want something more aggressive a nazgul or distortion would be a better option. This thing is fantastic though! Really crisp and clear even on the lower strings without coming out too harsh or muddy, extremely well packaged and it comes with a wiring diagram, mounting screws and a foamy/rubbery wadge to put underneath to stop it moving about inside the guitar.

You simply can not go wrong with Seymour Duncan! :)
