Seymour Duncan Nazgûl 8-String Bridge Position Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Nazgûl 8-String is built for extended range guitars and modern metal players who demand clarity and power in low tunings. Featuring a ceramic magnet and custom windings, this high-output pickup delivers tight bass, aggressive mids, and rich harmonics—perfect for progressive metal, djent, and other heavy styles. Despite its brutal gain response, the Nazgûl also produces clean, articulate tones when needed. Available in both passive and active soapbar mount options, the Nazgûl 8-String is a versatile upgrade for a wide range of instruments. Each pickup is hand-crafted in Seymour Duncan’s Santa Barbara, CA workshop with a nickel silver baseplate, 4-conductor wiring for flexible setups, and vacuum-wax potting for noise-free performance.
