Frequently asked questions
Which one fits my guitar?
The standard Corey B Blackout Set fits any 6-string electric guitar with conventional humbucker routing. The 7-String version is sized and mounted for 7-string guitars only and will not fit standard 6-string cavities.
Why do the 7-string pickups use different magnets in the neck and bridge?
The Alnico 5 in the neck position prioritizes clarity and articulation across wider string spacing, while the ceramic bridge pickup delivers maximum output and sustain under extreme gain for heavy riffing. This pairing optimizes each position's role in extended-range playing.
Are these passive or active pickups?
Both sets are passive pickups with no onboard electronics. The 7-String set has an 'active-character' passive design, meaning it delivers aggressive tone typical of active systems but without requiring active circuitry or batteries.
Can I coil-split these pickups?
The standard Corey B Blackout Set explicitly features four-conductor wiring for coil-splitting capability. The 7-String version description does not mention coil-splitting compatibility, so check wiring specs before assuming this feature.
