Description
EMG 60-7H Long Shaft Active Humbucker Pickup in Chrome
The EMG 60-7H delivers the balanced, articulate character that defines EMG's 60 series, purpose-built for seven-string instruments with a long shaft design that accommodates extended-range guitar dimensions. In the studio, this active humbucker captures clarity with controlled output, tracking every finger movement and pick articulation while maintaining tight note definition—ideal for layered production work, modern metal tones, or any session demanding separated, intelligible performances without excessive compression or aggression.
Design & Build Quality
Chrome finish housing pairs with a stainless steel cap for durability and sonic consistency through repeat takes. Close aperture coils and ceramic magnets form the core of the pickup's sonic architecture, engineered to reject noise while maintaining tight, focused response across the frequency spectrum—critical for clean signal chain integrity during overdubs and mixing.
Active Electronics & Power
This active circuit pickup requires a 9V battery and ships complete with an EMG Quik-Connect cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, mounting screws, and springs—everything needed for installation. Active operation ensures consistent output impedance and eliminates signal loss over cable runs, delivering stable recordings session after session without impedance-related coloration or high-frequency rolloff.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the long shaft design mean, and will it fit my seven-string guitar?
The long shaft is specifically engineered to accommodate seven-string humbucker cavities with proper spacing and clearance. This pickup is designed for extended-range instruments and will not fit standard six-string guitar cavities.
Is this pickup passive or active, and what do I need to power it?
This is an active pickup that requires one 9V battery for operation. Active circuitry ensures consistent output impedance and eliminates signal loss, making it ideal for long cable runs to amplifiers or audio interfaces.
What's included in the box, and do I need to buy additional wiring or controls?
The pickup ships complete with an EMG Quik-Connect cable, prewired split shaft volume and tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, mounting screws, and springs—everything needed for installation.
What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?
The EMG 60-7H excels in metal, progressive rock, and modern rock where articulation and tight note separation are critical. It is not designed for blues or jazz applications.
How does this compare to other seven-string active pickups?
The EMG 60-7H combines EMG's articulate 60-series character with active noise rejection and balanced output control. Comparable alternatives include the Seymour Duncan JB Jr 7-String, DiMarzio Crunch Lab 7, and Fishman Fluence Modern 7.
