M8

Still unbeatable

This is my 3rd set of M8s I put in an 8 string over the course of 15 years. This time in my newly purchased Solar A1.8. Lundgren M8 is still the unbeatable choice to put in a 8 string when it comes to clarity, tightness and tonality. A perfect choice for tight rhythmic play with great precision and for soaring leads with lots of gain and warmth.

Great sound

First time playing this pickup and it fits perfectly my taste. Tight , right mids, no harsh highs, 8 string sounds perfect. Will buy more.

My all time favorite metal pickup!

The greatest metal pickup by far. The bridge humbucker setting is closer to your traditional high-gain sound. These give me everything I like about active pickups but with way more clarity. The split-coil setting sounds super scratchy and feels more djenty, so it’s fun to switch between the two; it gives you more options. Fishmans have different voices, but anytime I’ve used a guitar with Fishmans, there’s only like one usable voice, so they don’t feel as versatile in practice. I did an A/B test with these pickups and a bunch of other guitars playing the exact same riff. These completely crushed all of them. I put these in a Schecter Banshee Elite 8-string. It completely rips.
