## Overview

The Seymour Duncan Nazgûl & Sentient set pairs a high-output ceramic magnet bridge pickup with a versatile Alnico 5 neck pickup, handcrafted in California. Designed for extreme metal and versatile playing styles, these humbuckers offer aggressive high gain, tight bass response, and pristine cleans. Featuring 4-conductor wiring and vacuum wax potting, they deliver squeal-free, customizable tones that elevate any 6-string guitar to professional-grade sonic territory.

## Description

Take your guitar to the centre of the earth with the Nazgûl and Sentient Set. The Nazgûl combines a large ceramic magnet with custom winding specs. The result is a perfect blend of note articulation, saturation, pick attack, and one of the most brutal "chugs" you'll ever hear from a humbucker. It has incredible harmonic content across all frequency ranges, and an insanely tight bass response. The Nazgûl has a seriously aggressive high gain sound that is lively, yet completely controllable. The Sentient neck delivers a balanced, versatile tone that fits right between the '59 model and the Jazz neck pickup. You'll get pristine cleans, and fluid leads under high gain. The Sentient is a very articulate vintage output pickup with great dynamic response and a wide harmonic range. It works great for low tunings in all humbucker-equipped guitars. Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, the Nazgûl and Sentient both use a large ceramic and alnico 5 bar magnets, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.

Review: Soldering required. - This my second set of these. I absolutely love them. I mostly play rock and metal. They sound phenomenal paired with the crush pro 60. Really brought the Ibanez to life!
Review: Nazgul / Sentient (6 String) Rocks!!! - This is a terrific set of pickups. I swapped out a 490t/490r combo inside a 2013 LPJ Pro for this set and have not been disappointed. At high volumes the Nazgul in the bridge drives hard but not overbearing or thin, by any means. The Sentient in the neck has a buttery, thick sound. At lower volumes, these pickups clean up really nice. Very versatile set (even more so when wired for coil tapping). With both pickups engaged, it's a very sweet combo. Spend some time rolling the volume/tone's slightly on each while both are engaged and discover some really cool tones.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are these good for death/thrash metal?**
A: You should drive death metal perfectly.

**Q: Anyone know if these are "G" or "F" spaced?  48-50mm compared to 53mm?  Thanks!**
A: These are standard ("G") spaced, about 1-15/16" from E to E on center. We have this set with the F spaced bridge if that is what you need.

**Q: Does this come with a wiring diagram?**
A: I can't remember if it did or not, however because there are several ways to wire two humbuckers, you can find wiring diagrams online pretty easy. I chose to put these pickups in a Les Paul, and wired them the same as the old pickups came out of the guitar.

**Q: does it come with everything?**
A: It doesn't come with pots...at least mine didn't

I love these pickups. Put them on a baritone guitar I built, and I could not be happier. Would recommend them.
