Frequently asked questions
Which one should I choose for a 7-string guitar?
The Corey B Blackout Neck 7 str is engineered specifically for 7-string instruments with its active mount design and extended-range voicing. The standard version is not designed for 7-string applications.
What's the key installation difference?
The 7 str uses active mount where preamp circuitry lives in the pickup assembly itself, while the standard version uses direct-mount compatible with traditional guitar cavities. Active mount reduces required cavity space on extended-range instruments.
Do both pickups have the same active preamp and battery requirements?
Both feature active preamp design for noise rejection and articulation. The standard version explicitly runs on a single 9V battery; the 7 str version integrates active circuitry within the pickup assembly itself, streamlining the wiring approach.
Are they voiced differently?
Both deliver tight lows and articulate response for metal and djent. The 7 str emphasizes sustain and depth suited to lower tunings; the standard version emphasizes mid and treble response with compressed output. Choose based on your guitar type, not tone preference alone.
