It's hard to tell from the pics. Is the Sentient glossy or matte black? And are the pole pieces the usual chrome (or do they call it nickel)? They kinda look black in pics.

Re: Sentient color & pole pieces/screws?
Here’s my stock sentient 7. The poles are not a flat black, more like a black chrome. The pickup coils are a matte black, like a stealth black color.
Here’s my Pegasus 7 which has the exact same color scheme as the sentient. I replaced the stock fillister pole screws with black oxide hex screws that are a standard flat black. You can see the contrast.Last edited by Bowtomecha; 02-05-2020, 12:02 AM.

Always have thought Duncan has made a huge mistake in making these look so different from the rest of their line as they are a super versatile neck pickup. IMO maybe the most versatile that Duncan has. The looks will limit that market for this pickup however as does how Duncan is marketing these as for metal only has.Administrator of the SDUGF

The point is just because all of the marketing makes it look one way, doesn't mean it always has to be that exact way.Last edited by Ascension; 02-05-2020, 03:42 PM.Guitars

No, it isn't a big upcharge. You do have to order it from an SD dealer, though.Administrator of the SDUGF

I bought a Perpetual Burn from him that came in sealed or supposedly sealed but had been soldered in before. I hit the ebay site informed them that it has been soldered in before but since the pickup was flawless and the leads had never been cut there was no problem I was just informing them. An hour later Mike himself CALLED ME on my cell personally! Was both concerned, apologetic and dead serious about finding out how that could have happened. We talked for a little super cool guy and I never ever have forgotten that. Now if I buy a pickup off ebay it will be from them unless he just doesn't have what I need in stock at the time.Guitars
