Seymour Duncan Dino Cazares Retribution 8-String Active Mount Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Dino Cazares Retribution 8-String Active Mount Pickup is engineered for extended-range guitars, delivering aggressive, tight, and articulate tone ideal for heavy metal, djent, and low-tuned riffing. With a built-in active preamp and ceramic magnet, this pickup provides high headroom, strong output, and clarity across all eight strings — even on the lowest F# or B notes.

Designed in collaboration with Dino Cazares of Fear Factory and Divine Heresy, Retribution pickups focus on balanced voicing so that low strings stay defined without overpowering the highs. The active electronics ensure a stable, noise-resistant signal suitable for high-gain rigs and modern metal setups, while preserving articulation and dynamic response for rhythm or lead work.

Compact and built for 8-string humbucker routing, this pickup is ideal for custom builds, retrofits, or upgrades. It offers consistent, reliable performance in demanding studio or live environments, giving extended-range players the aggressive tone and dependability they need.
