Description
Seymour Duncan Dino C Machete 7-String Passive Mount Bridge White Pickup
The Dino C Machete is a high-output active bridge pickup engineered for modern extended-range 7-string instruments, capturing aggressive articulation and clarity across extended tunings in the mix. This pickup combines aggressive voicing with the convenience of passive mounting, making it a straightforward upgrade for studios and home setups seeking enhanced definition and sustain without complicated wiring modifications.
Tone & Recording Characteristics
Built with a high-output coil design and powered by an internal 9-volt preamp, this bridge model excels at tracking tight, punchy low-end and articulate treble response ideal for palm-muted riffing and lead recording. The active circuitry ensures consistent gain and frequency response across all seven strings, eliminating the uneven pickup response common in passive designs across extended string counts—critical for maintaining coherent tone across sessions and overdubs.
Construction & Specifications
The soapbar-style casing houses seven individually optimized pole pieces calibrated for standard 7-string spacing, paired with black bobbins and black pole screws for reliable performance. Passive mount configuration allows installation without rewiring or additional preamp enclosures, streamlining setup for most 7-string platforms and minimizing studio downtime.

Will this pickup fit my 7-string guitar?
This is a soapbar-style bridge pickup with seven individual pole pieces calibrated for standard 7-string spacing. It is designed for 7-string platforms with standard bridge pickup cavities; verify your guitar's pickup cavity size and bridge position configuration before purchase.
