"Invader's Superb Tones!"

Feature:
perfect!

Quality:
Seymour duncan makes the best pickups out there

Value:
worth the money!

Desirability:
Yeah! I want it, now i have it!

Sound:
I just replace my BC Rich's BSDM pickups (from my Bich Archtop) today with an Invader on the bridge and a duncan distortion on the neck...and i was totally blown away. The Invader drive my amp like crazy, the sustain is infinity! Its the best metal pickup ever! Seymour duncan is one best pickup company ever...

Ease of Use:
so far so good, no probs at all... looks aggressive, strong...

Support:
they are nice, I've emailed them asking many things...thye respond really fast!

Overall:
This pickup is the best for metal... esp if u like those kind of middy distortion... all notes are clear and really stand out... get this one if u want something naturally aggressive tones, better than emgs...really

"SH-8 Invader Madness"

Feature:
the black oxide caps apparently give it loads of power, plus they just make the thing look sexy as hell

Value:
for the power it gives you, this thing is relatively cheap

Sound:
This thing is so heavy as far as tone, but the high notes ring with clarity. I also hear people complaining that it doesn't have good clean tones...well, you either have to switch to the middle position, or just turn down your volume knob a little. Even if it's distorted, if the volume is like at 1 on your guitar, it'll still be pretty clear

Ease of Use:
So clear yet so crunchy... this thing will make your sound absolutely mind-boggling

Support:
never dealt with them over these pickups, but i also have blackouts, and when i had a problem with those, i called them and they resolved the problem in under ten minutes (most of that time was waiting)

Overall:
I originally bought these things so my sound would better reflect Synyster Gates of A7X. Well, afther DOING THAT, this thing has still held up as great for stuff like Firewind, Dimmu Borgir, Children Of Bodom... Basically is metal is your thing, these beasts will NOT let you down
