Crisp when clean or driven to the summit, this pickup really snarls like a puma. Nice little bass in there to give the bridge just a touch of heft.

I recently picked up an ESP LTD SN-1000FR that came equipped with Duncan pickups. was pleasantly surprised by the Pegasus and the more I play it the more I love it. Love the articulation and clarity of the pickup and will be replacing the bridge pickup in my other guitars, 6 and 7, with a Pegasus. FANTASTIC, versatile pickup.

Perfect bridge pick up for my rg550!

I have a 6 string ESP LTD SN-1000 Evertune, Alder body, maple neck. It is loaded with a Pegasus in the bridge and 2 hot strat singles. I am tuned in E standard. Although, this pickup is being marketed to the progressive metal crowd - In reality it is a dark horse ascending the 6 heavens in pure satanic glory. Yes, all those glorious tritones, inversions and finger bending chords ring out perfectly under the devils distortion. Incredible clarity under full blown chords while tremolo picking across all 6 strings at once. I have owned the black winter as well and although I like it, I think the black winter is better at thrash and death metal. The Pegasus is much better for full anti-palm muted, strumming black metal. I also think this pickup sounds great for power metal and traditional heavy metal. You can also do thrash and death metal extra but I personally think the bright present clarity it dishes out for Kvlt black metal is one of the best I have heard. The day I received this guitar I immediately started playing 1349, and thought wow the perfect black metal pickup and completely marketed to the wrong group. Anyway, just my thoughts. 🤘🤘🤘

The most Versatile Pick up I have ever used .I own the 7 string and 6 string versions . I can get or play anything with it .Lots of Character.Very Articulate . Very Smooth and tight Mid-range -Bass And the Treble is very balanced and Sharp/Crispy .Feeds or cuts right through the Mix with really great presence and in studio it Pickups transient's really really well . I have been using and abusing Duncan's since like the 80"s man . This really is now one of my go to Pick ups and one of my Favorite's . Thanks Seymour . Mr. Duncan did it again !

I replaced the Nazgul with the Pegasus on my PRS SVN and achieved the tone I wanted. Excellent product and service from Seymour Duncan. Dietrick, Oakland MI

I bought the 8 string set of Pegasus/Sentient and I am very pleased. I had a set of stock ceramic pups but these really have such a great midrange and plenty of gain for any metal and still remain quiet. I would certainly recommend and would purchase again.

Perfect pickup

Excellent high output I'd recommend to anyone after biting tones that aren't necessarily fans of ceramic magnets.

I hardly ever write reviews unless I really enjoy a product….Ill start by saying these pickups gave me exactly what I wanted. The amount of clarity you get (even through saturated high gain) with these pickups is insane. You can really hear every note and they dont “overpower” or drown out one another on big chords. Another thing I love about these is how balanced they are. Not to much or too little of anything, just balanced perfectly (atleast for my tastes). Even with these qualities they remain brutal af too! Im very happy I took the chance and got these. Well worth!

Years ago I had SH2/SH4 set in my 6 string guitar and I was not amazed with them, I was rather Dimarzio guy. Then I swithced to 7 and 8 string guitars - Dimarzio uses ceramic magnets only for 7 and 8 string guitars, and they didn't sound good to my ears. I used for few years Lace X bars and the sounded really even but lets say with no "life" - a proper sound. Then I decided to give a try to Seymour Duncan pickups and they broke the bank! This was the best choice I could make. I play mostly cleans, sometimes light drives (dod looking glass). I use Sentient/Pegasus 8 (a perfect match), SD is one of the few who uses alnico magnets for 8 strng pickups, and I think this makes them sound so good, they sound really warm and fat but still with lot of definition, very even, bass is tight and sits perfect in a mix, they have a vintage feel but modern definition, my guitar got a new life with them, I could not be more happy. Thank you SD!!

Jb lite but still has bite.

I have a 3 piece Prog metal band but I do not want to lose half my audience, They are called 'lady's' LOL So I add verses or a chorus or just a middle 8 in my tunes where I flatpick things that even a Beatle audience would enjoy. My material is much more interesting and much more dynamic. If you play flat out you have nowhere to go because you are in overdrive with your foot on the mat! The Pegasus PU can pull it all off ...but if I don't tell you ...you would never know. 🙂

Excellent for complex chords with distortion. Lets you really hear each note beautifully.

Great pick-up for most styles. Articulate and smooth for almost every style of music. Hotter than traditional PAF-style pups, but still cleans up nicely when backing off the volume. Very pleased, 10/10 would buy again.
