Description
Seymour Duncan 7-String Distortion Neck, Passive Mount, BlkMetal Pickup
This high-output passive humbucker captures the aggressive, articulate response essential for tracking 7-string material in metal and extended-range sessions. The largest ceramic bar magnet in the neck position commands both clarity and sustain, delivering a neck voice that pairs decisively with high-output bridge pickups while maintaining definition across the full frequency spectrum. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup brings professional-grade construction to studio applications demanding uncompromised tracking performance.
Tone & Output
The ceramic magnet design and large ceramic bar magnet construction generate the highest output of neck humbuckers, ensuring tight low-end definition and midrange punch that sits cleanly in dense 7-string mixes without muddiness. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, delivering consistent, controlled performance across high-gain recording sessions and dynamic playing styles without unwanted noise artifacts.
Construction & Wiring
Built with a nickel-silver bottom plate for durability and tonal consistency across recording takes, this pickup features a 4-conductor lead wire that enables flexible signal routing—coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase adjustment give you tonal versatility within a single session or track. The black metal humbucker cover provides visual consistency with modern instrument aesthetics while maintaining the passive design architecture.
