Frequently asked questions
Can I use just the Neck or Bridge pickup alone, or do I need both?
Either can be used as a standalone pickup in its respective position. However, for optimal tonal balance and versatility across your 7-string, pairing them as a set is recommended. They are voiced to complement each other in a complete guitar setup.
What is the DC resistance difference and how does it affect tone?
The Neck has 9.38k Ohms resistance, which provides a more balanced, articulate response with preserved harmonic detail. The Bridge's DC resistance is not specified in the data, but bridge pickups typically run higher for increased output and aggression—this one is described as having higher output than the Neck.
Are these pickups suitable for genres other than metal and djent?
Both pickups are specifically engineered for metal, djent, progressive, and extended-range styles with high-gain amplification. They are explicitly listed as not ideal for jazz, blues, or folk. Their aggressive voicing and tight articulation prioritize heavy modern playing over warm, vintage, or subtle tones.
Do these pickups require any guitar modifications to install?
No. Both feature triangular feet bottom plates that fit standard humbucker routs, so installation is straightforward on most 7-string instruments without routing modifications.
