Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver savage tone





The LTD SN-1000 HT comes loaded with a rocking Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient Humbucker set. In the bridge position, the Pegasus has impressive sonic clarity, due to its custom-wound coils and Alnico V magnet. In the neck position, the Sentient produces a PAF-style sound with an added layer of harmonic complexity. The combination of these two pups generates a laser-focused tone for intense lead tones and well-defined chords with stellar note separation.
