Seymour Duncan Nazgul & Sentient Pickup Set - Black

Power is nothing without control, and with the Seymour Duncan Nazgul - Sentient pickup set you'll have total control over your dynamics; from intense chug to sensitive clean passages. The Sentient neck pickup is a high output Alnico 5 humbucker that is capable of both exceptional clean articulation, but retains it's composure under high gain situations. It's far from just a "metal" pickup and through Duncan's Shop Floor Custom program you can get it built is a variety of bobbins and covers. We really like this pickup, and think of it as a Duncan '59 that went to the gym. 

The Nazgul (a term that refers back to J.R.R. Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings) uses a ceramic magnet for increased efficiency, note separation and super tight response. It will drive your amp or pedal into a frenzy, but your right hand will always be in control of the action (unless you are a lefty). Metal and Progressive styles are not just about volume but also dynamics, and the Nazgul - Sentient pickup set has the capability to both whisper and scream. 

In the words of Seymour Duncan....

Take your guitar to the center of the earth with the Nazgûl and Sentient high output passive humbucker pickups. The Nazgûl combines a large ceramic magnet with custom winding specs. The result is a perfect blend of note articulation, saturation, pick attack, and one of the most brutal chugs you’ll ever hear from a humbucker. It has incredible harmonic content across all frequency ranges, and an insanely tight bass response. The Nazgûl has a seriously aggressive high gain sound that is lively, yet completely controllable.

The Sentient neck delivers a balanced, versatile tone that fits right between our iconic ’59 and Jazz model neck pickups. You’ll get pristine cleans, and fluid leads under high gain. The Sentient is a very articulate vintage output pickup with great dynamic response and a wide harmonic range. It works great for low tunings in all humbucker-equipped guitars.
