SH-8b Invader 8-String: big sound with ultra-high output

The SH-8 Invader was made with just one goal, to get the highest possible output from a passive element. For this reason, this 8-string element also features no less than 3 ceramic magnets. The more windings of copper wire wound around the magnets the higher the output will be. The SH-8 invader has an over-wound coil. The last component that determines the output of a humbucker is the pole rods in the element, these too are oversized in the SH-8b Invader 8-String Bridge. In short, with 3 ceramic magnets, an over-wound coil and 12 oversized pole rods, this Invader produces an electric field worthy of the name.
