Got the invader

[GnR_Guy]

so i finally got the invader for my rx10d rhoads, and it just became my main guitar. Really thickened up the sound but i didn't lose any highs which shocked the hell out of me. Very underated pickup and perfect for metal riffs which i am very fond of. wish the rr-1 came stock with these instead of the jb cause im saving up for one now. If the american made ones are even better than the imports i can't wait

Great to hear you are loving the Invader's highs. There seems to be a lot "bad press" by users about the @ss heavy nature of this pickup. I recently went with another product because of this.

Do you downtune your axe?

When I had the Invader in my 7-string, I really liked it from about a low D or so up - it was just below that that it got a bit muddy. It'd be great in a 6-string.

Yep i downtune to drop d 1/2 step. Just works well for what i play and the sound im after. The dark meaty opeth kinda sound with my own flavor thrown in.

I still can't get the idea of putting one in my Les Paul out of my head. Wish I could hear it like that before I commit to it.

I had one in a SG and I didn't like it. Very undefined. Sounded pretty badass in my strat though

I have a JB in my Super Strat...it kills. Does damn near anything I want it to.

It is a great pickup to add a little darkness to a light guitar. It may be THE ticket for a swimming pool route. Works great in a light Dinky I have.

I have a MegaDrive in one of my RX10D's and a DD in the other. For me, an Invader would be a bit dark.

Glad you are lovin' it GNR. It is one of my 2 most fav's from Duncan.

Yeah it is a dark sounding pup but works really well with the alder body and floyd. Especially thru my bright blue voodoo, its the cat's ass

Invaders definetly kick ass, what did you mean about you hope they're as good at the import?

I always thought the Invaders sound a bit muddy in mahogany guitars like an SG or Les Paul. After swapping the pole pieces for smaller hex poles (like from a Dimarzio Super Distortion) it tightened the tone and it wasn't as flubby. Especially in the Les Paul bridge....
