    Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience comparing the SD Invader pickups that used to come in Syn models vs. his newer custom set pickups. The only thing I can really find is that Syn's new pickups have a little more output than the Invaders. There's an EQ graph for the Invaders on SD's website, but no EQ graph or anything for Syn's pickups on Schecter's site.

    Interesting that the lows and low mids are prevalent. My syn model has Invaders, which I think are great but I'm debating on upgrading eventually

    @Hector Trejo has both and has made a video on it!

    I personally can back up what the others said. The invader is a bit darker, while the schecter is tighter and brighter and it has a very distinct sound too. But that's something you probably only notice when playing a while with it. I have an invader in the neck and a syn custom in the bridge

    Idk how I didn't find this video when I searched lol. But I like brighter, so maybe I'll get some Syn Custom pickups
