Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Matte Black Pickup Set

The Pegasus/Sentient pairing delivers articulate, controlled output with enough headroom for tight, defined lows and vocal mids. This is a modern high-output set engineered for players who prioritize clarity and precision over raw aggression, making it equally at home in drop tunings or standard tuning across diverse genres.

Tone & Output Character

The bridge Pegasus (12.5 kΩ) provides aggressive attack with controlled sustain, while the neck Sentient (7.75 kΩ) balances warmth and articulation for smooth lead work. The resonant peaks at 5.16 kHz (bridge) and 6.48 kHz (neck) ensure each pickup cuts through the mix without harshness, giving you punchy fundamentals and defined harmonic content across the frequency spectrum.

Construction & Materials

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, each pickup uses Alnico 5 Bar magnets and nickel silver bottom plates for reliable performance and tonal consistency. The vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures stable operation even under load.
