Description
EMG 60-7H 7-String Active Humbucker Pickup in Brushed Chrome
The EMG 60-7H brings the balanced, articulate character of the legendary 60 voicing to 7-string tracking and recording. This active humbucker captures tight low-end definition with clear midrange separation and controlled high-end presence, translating equally well to heavy riff documentation and precision finger-picked tracking. The brushed chrome finish maintains a professional appearance on any instrument, while the active circuitry ensures consistent gain staging and noise-free signal delivery into preamps and interfaces.
Electronics & Construction
Built around ceramic magnets and close-aperture coils, this active humbucker configuration isolates string-to-string definition with precision and rejects electromagnetic interference. The active pickup type requires battery power to operate but rewards the user with lower impedance, higher signal stability, and the ability to maintain clean headroom across dynamic recording sessions without loss of transient detail or tonal character.
Included Components & Installation
This pickup ships complete with a Quik-Connect cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, mounting screws, and springs—everything necessary to integrate the pickup into a functioning instrument or retrofit an existing guitar. The included wiring harness eliminates guesswork during installation and ensures proper signal path from day one.

Reviews
At a Glance
The EMG 60-7H is an active 7-string humbucker engineered to track cleanly at high gain while maintaining tight low-end articulation and controlled midrange presence, making it a versatile choice for recording heavy material, progressive passages, or any session requiring extended-range clarity. Its active circuitry delivers high signal stability and low impedance, letting you capture consistent, defined tones across multiple takes without noise or signal degradation. The complete wiring kit—Quik-Connect cable, prewired controls, output jack, and battery system—accelerates setup so you can focus on tracking rather than troubleshooting.
Who This Is For
| Best suited for | Metal, Progressive, Extended Range, Drop Tunings |
|---|---|
| Tonal character | Tight low end, articulate midrange, controlled high-end, balanced response, high signal stability |
| Less specialized for | Jazz, Folk (it will do it; instruments voiced for that style do it more easily) |
| Skill level | Intermediate / Advanced / Professional |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the box?
The EMG 60-7H ships with a Quik-Connect cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, mounting screws, and springs. This complete wiring ecosystem is ready for immediate installation in a new build or retrofit.
Does this pickup require a battery, and how does that affect operation?
Yes, active circuitry requires battery power, which provides lower impedance, higher signal stability, and quieter operation compared to passive pickups. The battery clip set is included, and active operation lets you drive amplifiers cleanly across wide dynamic ranges without loss of definition.
What tunings and playing styles is this pickup designed for?
The EMG 60-7H is purpose-built for metal, progressive, and extended-range playing in drop tunings. Its tight low-end, articulate midrange, and controlled high-end work equally well for heavy riffing and precision picking, though it is not voiced for jazz or folk applications.
How does the EMG 60-7H compare to other 7-string active pickups?
The EMG 60-7H offers the balanced, articulate voicing of the classic 60 design adapted for 7-string duty. Comparable alternatives include the Seymour Duncan Distortion 7-String, Fishman Fluence Modern 7-String, and DiMarzio D-Activator 7-String, each with different tonal characteristics and feature sets.
What skill level do I need to install this pickup?
The included prewired control set and Quik-Connect cable simplify installation for intermediate and advanced players familiar with pickup swaps. Professional installers will appreciate the complete wiring harness that eliminates guesswork during setup.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
