EMG 60-7XH 7-String Active Humbucker Pickup in Black

This is a bridge-position active humbucker engineered specifically for 7-string guitars in drop tunings and extended-range applications. It excels in metal, progressive, and studio sessions where articulate highs, punchy lows, and controlled feedback rejection are priorities.

No. The 60-7XH is designed with a close aperture coil that fits standard 7-string bridge cavities without modification, and it uses a passive mount configuration for straightforward installation.

Active EMG designs require a battery but deliver consistent output levels, low-impedance signal that resists noise over cable runs, and controlled feedback rejection. The 60-7XH maintains balanced articulation across high-gain and clean tones without the muddiness that passive designs can exhibit at lower tunings.

The 60-7XH's active circuitry provides more focused response and clarity on lower strings than passive designs, while the low-impedance output prevents signal degradation in long cable runs or densely packed pedalboards. The balanced character avoids the boomy or undefined tone passive pickups can produce in drop tunings.

This pickup is voiced for metal, progressive, and modern high-gain applications. It is not recommended for jazz, folk, or country styles, which typically benefit from warmer, more open-voiced passive designs.
