Buy both as a matched pair for a complete 7-string setup, or pick one if upgrading a single position.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use just the bridge pickup, or do I need both?
Either pickup works standalone, but they're voiced for different positions. The bridge excels at heavy rhythm, while the neck suits lead and articulation. Pairing both creates a balanced, unified tone across the instrument.
What's the difference between the Alnico 5 and ceramic magnets?
The neck pickup's Alnico 5 magnet offers smoother response and defined articulation; the bridge pickup's ceramic magnet delivers higher output and aggressive midrange focus. Choose Alnico for clarity and ceramic for punch.
Are these suitable for tunings lower than Drop-D?
Yes. Both pickups are engineered for extended-range 7-string instruments and lower drop tunings. The bridge pickup's high output particularly excels in very heavy, detuned contexts.
Do I need to modify my guitar to install these?
No. Both use passive mount configurations designed for standard 7-string guitar cavities and require no active power or wiring modifications beyond standard passive pickup installation.
