I am loving my newest upgrade! So much so that I am enjoying practising for 2-5 hours every day now instead of the usual one hour or so a few days per week. I bought the right guitar for my needs, but the tone wasn't just right for me no matter how much I tweaked sound settings on my Marshall amp. It lacked punch, but after extensively researching different humbucker pickups for what I like to play -- this upgrade got me there! Right now I am finding it really difficult to put down my guitar, for even just a few hours in my spare time. So my expectations have been exceeded. I am ecstatic about the tones I am able to dial in now and also, it looks KILLER! The white version w- black pole pieces of this pickup perfectly compliment the overall black with white accents on my guitar -- photo included. Thank you to Solo Guitars for getting it to me promptly and also for the free red Solo guitar pick. It might be a small thing, but as I had misplaced my guitar picks, it came in real handy. I appreciate it and I also enjoyed checking out your website. Read more

Muy buen tono y bastante salida, tenía instalada una copia de AliExpress de esta misma pastilla y realmente es mejor la original. Read more

I got this to put into a Squier Bullet Strat which I was modding into something similar to Tom Delonge's signature Strat. In white with black allen bolts the Invader pickup certainly looks the part (see picture), and the included wiring instructions were nice and clear too. Better still, on the Seymour Duncan website you can input your intended set-up (in my case one humbucker pickup and one pot) and it will give you a clear wiring diagram for that particular set-up. Most impressed. Installation was easy, although I was surprised by how thin the wires were, and as such a delicate hand is needed to strip them prior to soldering. With everything in place and the guitar plugged in the Invader SH-8b certainly does not lack power or aggression, making it ideal for punk, grunge and metal. Given it's high output it's pretty easy to drive my little Blackstar HT1-R amp into a crunchy break-up without the needing to press the overdrive button, and harmonic squeals were all too easy. Unsurprisingly it's not great at clean tones, so if you're after an all rounder you will probably want to look elsewhere in Seymour Duncan product range. The Invader is very much an 'all guns blazing' type of pickup and certainly in my minimalist Strat a bit of a one trick pony - but what a trick! Read more

Super awesome pick up! Fast shipping and yes it is white regardless of what the description says. Read more

Scatola come se avesse fatto la guerra. Nastro isolante improvvisato. Pick up sporco. Secondo me il pick up, che mi è stato venuduto per nuovo a 110 euro, nuovo nn era. Scandaloso. Le foto provano quanto detto. Read more

Verpackung zerkratzt und mit Tesa verschlossen, Pickup vermackt. Saiten, die zum Lieferumfang gehören, fehlen. Schade. Read more

I’m not an amazing guitarist, so don’t job my playing haha. But here’s a short clip of what this pickup is capable of. Some say this pickup isn’t very versatile, but in my short time playing with this pickup so far I would say that it is pretty amazing. I’m a big fan of Seymour Duncan pickups. My other guitars all have SD pickups. This is my first “invader”. I chose it because I’ve read about it a little and it just looks awesome in my hello kitty Squier lol. Sound quality is amazing, it has a low growl when In drop D tuning, and a nice crunch / punchy palm mute sound In standard tuning. I’ve yet to drop it below D but I am Sure that it is going to sound beefy in drop C or A tuning. My guitar only has a single volume knob control so it’s hard to comment on just how versatile this pickup is, but I’m happy with it overall. It sounds clean to me without distortion, and when I crank the gain it sounds so good! Sustain is great, and it has a clean / mean growl with the gain up. It was easy to install, and it is high quality. Seymour Duncan pickups are built to last a lifetime. My oldest guitar is 23 years old and the pickup is still going strong. Anywho, if you’re looking for a humbucker to pair with your Hello Kitty guitar, or any other guitar for that matter and want to shake the walls with heavy / high gain. This pickup is for you, you’ll love it. I’ve only been jamming with it for 2 days and I’m in love with it. I’m so glad I got it, and actually I might get another for one of my other guitars someday soon. Read more
