Black Heaven® 8 string

This is the first Lundgren pickup I've ever had the pleasure of owning. Obviously, I love Meshuggah and I was always wanting to try an M8, but then I came across this guy right here. I was a little hesitant at first because there are hardly, if any, reviews or demos for the 8 string version of this pickup. After much debating, I finally bit the bullet and snagged one up and BOY am I glad I did! The Black Heaven 8 is amazing and even better than I expected! Like they say here on the site, it has the best characteristics of the M8, but it's definitely a bit more dynamic and "laid back" in a way. That's not to say this pickup isn't an absolutely heavy as hell sounding metal monster because it definitely is! The metal tones I get with it are nothing short of straight up brutal! The advantage, in my opinion, with the Black Heaven over the M series is that the cleans shine through even better. Crystal clear on a level I've never personally experienced and I'm absolutely in love with it. Be warned, though, that just like the M series, the Black Heaven is very unforgiving in that it will pick up every little nuance of you're playing. It's honestly forced me to get tighter with my playing and that's a plus in my book. If you're thinking about getting this pickup and you're a little hesitant like I initially was, rest assured that you will not be disappointed by it!.... And, yes, you can definitely still get Meshuggah tones from this beautiful beast of a pickup. 😎
