Seymour Duncan SH-2 Jazz & SH-8 Invader Demo Gear Experts

This is demo of the Seymour Duncan SH-2 Jazz (neck) and SH-8 (bridge) pickups in my ESP LTD Viper 100FM for the Seymour Duncan Gear Experts Competition. Please excuse the video quality, it was all i have access to. Please also ignore the text at the top of the screen, i didn't realise it would appear until it was too late. Enjoy!

thanks to everyone for viewing this, i didn't think it would get as many plays as it has

this does not sound like a "expert" review???

[landlordsmachiavelli]

@gtjumper It isn't, it was for a competition

[denukio]

u dont have feeling in your fingers, i think all metal guys have the same problem...

[landlordsmachiavelli]

@denukio I'm not actually a guitarist, much less a metal one. And this was when i'd just been teaching myself guitar for a couple of years. But thanks for your input

[AngelKiller197]

is the sh-8 recomended for thrash metal/heavy metal?

[landlordsmachiavelli]

@AngelKiller197 definitely, pretty brutal

[someone0209]

@denukio fuck you

[GuitarAvenger1]

Is this a good combination of pickups

[6chicken6wing6]

very good review

[theNINE6661]

@FirePower3006 honestly, basswood is more for actives. the best wood for passives is alder, it reacts with the pickups in a very "real" sounding eay



[supergerble]

@denukio check out out Michael Amott from Arch Enemy and see if you still think that

[MrGuitar144]

i find the dimebucker has a better bass end than the invader

[FirePower3006]

ok so i got a duncan distortion in a basswood guitar and it completely sucked dick, so im looking for a bridge pickup with the heaviest palm muting possible for thrash/death and a neck pickup with a very smooth solo sound guitar is a epiphone les paul, like the shittiest one they got and im thinking about the invader bridge and a full shred or screaming demon in neck or a dean dmt tyrant and dimetime pickup, im getting a schaller les paul trem for it also

[sUiSid3]

What if you play with both pickups not just bridge or neck? any problems? I read something bout pickups not going well together, I'd really hate it.

I was thinking bout sh-6 and sh-2 and also have thoughts bout sh-8 invader set. You brought up a balance sh-8 and sh-2.

Please lemme know! I wanna buy new pickups in near future cuz mine does not produce enough power(it sucks completely).

[xunderxdosedx]

The bridge position Invader is my favorite pickup of all time. I play punk, classic rock, metal, and a little jazz, and this pickup has never once disappointed me. Even the twangy clean sound everyone hates just reminds me of a Telecaster. Eats gain for breakfast and always sounds crunchy and well-defined

@DarkLordNagash This pickup's the next hottest right after the blackouts, I'd say this is perfect for you, but pay attention to the wood in your guitar. It may make a mahogany body sound muddy; all in preference of course.
