If you are looking for a passive pickup with high output and dirty tone then this could be your perfect weapon. Surprisingly this SH8 invader has a high mid on bridge and it sustains pretty well. Currently using it on Cort EVL X-5 (mahogany body & D'Addario EXL110 strings) at the bridge, as I write this review, gives a balanced tone and is perfect for heavy genres. Absolutely satisfied with it's versatility and I'm glad it came in to my life.
