Featuring a ceramic magnet in the Nazgûl bridge pickup for aggressive, tight low-end and a versatile alnico 5 Sentient neck pickup for articulate cleans and leads, this set offers dynamic tonal range. Vacuum wax potting eliminates unwanted squeals, while 4-conductor wiring allows advanced coil-splitting options. Hand built in the USA, these pickups elevate any guitar’s sound to professional stage and studio standards. ## 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: Best buy for low-end guitars - Got dang! This made my $100 guitar sound better than my Gibson! If it weren't for the price, I'd buy them for all my guitars! It was my first time installing/soldering and it went perfect. Look up the diagrams on the semour duncan website for help. Absolutely would buy again Review: Phenomenal Versatile Humbuckers - I’ve been wanting to get this Nazgûl/Sentient set for quite a while. Very happy I made the purchase. Very simple install- I installed in an IYV PRS copy- the guitar sounds amazing now. I re-wired the guitar with vintage push-back cloth wire and also swapped out the pots for CTS/push-pull coil split pot too along with a Pure Tone jack. The wiring diagram contains all the knowledge you need to install these pickups. The lead wires are a little short so I implemented “jumper” wires to connect both red/white wires from each humbucker to their respective lugs on the tone push/pull pot. It’s very simple to add a jumper wire. Now for how they sound. I love the Sentient neck pup which uses an alnico 5 magnet. Beautiful, articulate, very detailed note articulation playing clean, but this neck pup also screams with harmonics and mid range growl as previously stated on prior reviews. The bridge Nazgûl uses a large ceramic magnet and packs quite a punch. It’s just the right amount of power. Phenomenal, layered mid range waves of od/distortion or crisp, detailed notes on clean. These pickups are the clearest and just best sounding pickups I’ve ever heard. I have over 90 guitars, and I’ve definitely done my share of pickup upgrades. I’ve tried just about every brand and style out there and these are by far the best I’ve ever played. These pups sound excellent for down-tuning as well- I play dropped C metal/stoner metal/stoner rock. Let’s put it this way- I’m going to re-record parts of a few songs I’m currently writing with this IYV guitar. You cannot go wrong with Seymour Duncan in my opinion. ## Features - Earth-Shaking Power - Unleash brutal chugs and articulate leads with the Nazgul/Sentient humbucker set - perfect for modern metal and low tunings. - Dynamic Versatility - Achieve pristine cleans to fluid leads with the Sentient neck pickup, striking the perfect balance with the Nazgul's sheer aggression. - Seamless Performance - Squeal-free operation in high-gain situations thanks to vacuum wax potting, offering reliable studio and stage performance. - Defined Metal Tone - Experience searing highs, grinding mids, and tight bass - the ultimate choice for fathoming the depths of modern metal tunings. - Made in the USA - Hand built in our factory in Santa Barbara, CA, these humbucker pickups use 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00YBCJO0A | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,323 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #182 in Electric Guitar Pickups & Pickup Covers | | Color Name | Black | | Connector Type | 4-conductor | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (109) | | Date First Available | May 26, 2015 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 12.5 ounces | | Item model number | Nazgul/Sentient Set 6 string | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Product Dimensions | 6.25 x 4.5 x 1.5 inches | | Size | 6-string Set | | String Gauge | Heavy | | String Material | Stainless Steel | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seymour Duncan - **Color:** Black - **Instrument:** Electric Guitar - **String Gauge:** Heavy - **String Material Type:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![Nazgul and Sentient Set - High Output 6-String Neck and Bridge Electric Guitar Pickups for Hard Rock and Modern Metal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41fZ6cSSSLL.jpg) ## 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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best buy for low-end guitars *by A***N on January 11, 2026* Got dang!

I even disconnect a distortion pedal as the gain in a volume pot is enough to get these Mofos to blast the room with all the rock you want ## Frequently Bought Together - Seymour Duncan Nazgul and Sentient Set - High Output 6-String Neck and Bridge Electric Guitar Pickups for Hard Rock and Modern Metal - The Art Of Tone Gavitt Pushback Cloth Wire for Electric Guitar, 22awg Pre-tinned Stranded Copper Wire, 10 feet of Each Color, Black/White/Yellow - Seymour Duncan Ssdp 500 SDP/500 K Pot with SD Logo --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/16677278-nazgul-and-sentient-set-high-output-6-string-neck-bridge](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/16677278-nazgul-and-sentient-set-high-output-6-string-neck-bridge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
