Seymour Duncan Invader SH-8B Bridge Humbucker in White

The Seymour Duncan Invader SH-8B Bridge Humbucker in White is built to turn any guitar into a brutal, high-output riff machine. With three ceramic magnets, oversized metal oxide pole pieces and heavily overwound coils, it delivers an ultra-thick, aggressive voice that stays tight and defined, even in extreme low tunings. If you want your bridge position to sound bigger, meaner and more powerful without losing clarity, the Invader is designed for you.

Installing an Invader is like rewriting your guitar’s sonic DNA. Chords take on a subsonic weight, single notes become huge and vocal, and every riff punches through the mix with authority. Despite its ferocious output, the carefully balanced magnetic field and smooth string-to-string response keep your tone controlled and musical, whether you are chugging on the low strings or tearing into high-register leads.

Hand built in Seymour Duncan’s Santa Barbara workshop, the SH-8B is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance at extreme gain levels and features a four-conductor lead for versatile wiring options. Finished in striking white with its signature oversized hex pole pieces, it looks every bit as intimidating as it sounds.

Crushing High Output

The Invader’s specially overwound coils are voiced for maximum output and saturation, giving you a thick, aggressive tone that hits hard. This lets you drive your amp or pedals into rich, harmonically loaded distortion without needing extra boost pedals, perfect for modern metal, hardcore and any style that demands serious firepower.

Triple Ceramic Magnet Power

Three large ceramic bar magnets provide the backbone of the Invader’s sound, adding depth, punch and clarity to its massive low end. The result is a pickup that stays tight and articulate, even with heavy palm muting and fast alternate picking, so your most complex riffs remain clear and defined.

Oversized Metal Oxide Pole Pieces

The distinctive oversized metal oxide pole pieces expand the magnetic field and widen the frequency response, making every note sound bigger and more three-dimensional. This gives you a rich, full-bodied tone across the entire fretboard, with smooth string-to-string balance that feels controlled and consistent under the fingers.

Stage-Ready Construction

Hand built with a nickel silver baseplate, four-conductor lead wire and vacuum wax potting, the Invader SH-8B is engineered for reliability under high gain and high volume. The four-conductor wiring opens up coil-splitting and other custom wiring options, while the robust construction helps keep your tone stable and squeal-free night after night.
