Description
Seymour Duncan Loomis Noumenon Neck Zebra 7-String Pickup
The Loomis Noumenon Neck is a high-output humbucker engineered for extended-range 7-string instruments, delivering focused midrange aggression and tight articulation without sacrificing harmonic complexity. Designed in collaboration with Fredrik Thordendal, this pickup captures heavy tunings and intense playing dynamics with precision and clarity, making it ideal for layered recording sessions and complex mix environments. The zebra coil configuration and handcrafted construction ensure consistent performance across demanding studio and live applications.
Tone & Performance in the Studio
With a DC resistance of 9.38k Ohms, this neck pickup achieves a balanced output that isolates note definition while maintaining sufficient gain for high-gain amplification chains. The Alnico 5 magnet provides responsive transient control and natural harmonic overtones, capturing pick dynamics and finger nuance across all seven strings—essential for tracking rhythm parts and lead lines that need separation in a dense mix.
Design & Build Quality
Handmade in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup features a 4-conductor shielded cable for flexible wiring options and noise rejection in studio environments. The triangular feet bottom plate mounts securely into standard humbucker routes, ensuring stable installation and proper string alignment for extended-range instruments during long recording sessions.
