Seymour Duncan 7-String Distortion Bridge Passive Mount, Matte Black Pickup vs Seymour Duncan 7-String Distortion Neck, Passive Mount, Matte Black Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 7-String Distortion Bridge is designed for bridge position use with higher impedance (16.6K) and a 5.5 kHz peak for maximum string separation, while the 7-String Distortion Neck is built for neck position with slightly lower impedance (15.11K) and a 4.54 kHz peak for cutting highs and defined lows. Choose the Bridge model if you need clarity and articulation in the bridge position; choose the Neck model if you're replacing or upgrading your neck pickup specifically.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together as a set?
Yes. The Bridge and Neck models are specifically designed to complement each other as a matched pair on 7-string guitars, with the Bridge handling separation and the Neck providing balanced output and clarity from the neck position.
What is the key tonal difference between the two resonant peaks?
The Bridge's 5.5 kHz peak emphasizes upper-midrange articulation for string definition, while the Neck's 4.54 kHz peak sits lower in the midrange to provide cutting highs and defined lows with a more balanced neck position voice.
Are both pickups suitable for extreme metal and djent?
Yes, both are voiced for aggressive distortion and high-gain applications. The Bridge excels at aggressive clarity and punch, while the Neck delivers hot output with cutting highs, so they work well paired together for extended-range metal playing.
Do these pickups require amplifier modifications or specific gear?
No. Both are passive humbuckers with standard four-conductor wiring that install into regular humbucker cavities and work with any amplifier. They are designed to work with existing setups without additional electronics.
