Summary
The 7-String Pegasus is a medium output, articulate, bridge
pickup created specifically for progressive metal players with extended
range guitars.
Description
The Pegasus was
originally built for 7 and 8 string guitars. Rather than modifying a
6-string pickup to work with extended range guitars, we started from
scratch and built the Pegasus on a whole new platform. It incorporates
an alnico 5 bar magnet and custom winding specs. The goal was to deliver
a warm, balanced, responsive, and lush tone for progressive metal. Its a
harmonically rich pickup with a prominent midrange, and a focused low
end. The high resonant peak makes for a sparkly top end and an
incredible bloom on chords in high-gain situations. Its a great pickup
for both live playing, and recording. The responsive and accurate pick
attack ensures that you will cut through any live mix, and will have
tight-tracking transients in a studio environment. Because the Pegasus
is a moderate output pickup, it works as well for clean tones as it does
for distorted tones. This passive humbucker comes in choice of a
standard open-coil look or black metal humbucker cover, both in a
classic passive mount that easily fits in any guitar with traditional
routing. We also make it in a standard active mount size with a black
soapbar cover with one row of exposed poles for a modern look.Pair with
the Sentient neck pickup for the ultimate prog metal sound and
versatilityHand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, the Pegasus uses
an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead
wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for
squeal-free performance.
