Description
EMG 60-7H Long Shaft Active Humbucker Pickup in Chrome
The EMG 60-7H delivers the balanced, articulate character that defines EMG's 60 series, purpose-built for seven-string instruments with a long shaft design that accommodates extended-range guitar dimensions. This active humbucker pairs clarity with controlled output, making it equally at home in modern metal, progressive rock, or any application demanding defined note separation without excessive aggression.
Design & Build Quality
Chrome finish housing pairs with a stainless steel cap for durability and visual consistency. Close aperture coils and ceramic magnets form the core of the pickup's sonic architecture, engineered to reject noise while maintaining tight, focused response across the frequency spectrum.
Active Electronics & Power

How does this compare to other seven-string active pickups?
