Description
EMG 707TWX-R 7-String Active Single Coil Pickup in Black
The EMG 707TWX-R is a high-output active single-coil pickup engineered for extended-range 7-string instruments, delivering articulate treble response and controlled dynamics without the hum associated with passive designs. Positioned as a neck-variant pickup, it excels at capturing definition and clarity across the lower frequencies while maintaining tight transient attack on higher strings. This is a workhorse pickup for gigging musicians who demand noise-free performance and consistent gain across a wide playing range—no dropout, no surprises on stage.
Tone & Response Characteristics
The 4.44 kHz resonant frequency in single-coil mode emphasizes upper-midrange clarity and articulation, cutting through live mixes during lead passages and percussive playing. With Alnico V magnets and 2.00V output per string in single-coil configuration, the pickup generates a punchy, defined tone that sits right in front of a full band, while the -107 dB noise floor keeps your signal clean and hiss-free even when running high-gain rigs into venues with unpredictable power.
Design & Installation
The 7-pin connector system eliminates soldering requirements, making swap-outs and repairs quick and reliable on the road or in the shop. Designed to accommodate strings up to 2.62" (66.5 mm) in width, the pickup integrates seamlessly into modern extended-range instruments without modification, keeping your setup stable across gigs.

Intermediate to professional players will appreciate the tight transient response and defined tone that cuts through dense mixes without soldering; the 7-pin connector and wide string accommodation make it a straightforward swap into modern extended-range instruments. Choose this if you need consistent, controlled dynamics and clarity on lower frequencies while maintaining clarity across your entire extended range.
Who This Is For
| Best suited for | Extended Range, Studio Sessions, Metal, Progressive |
|---|---|
| Tonal character | Articulate treble, controlled dynamics, hum-free, punchy, defined |
| Less specialized for | Blues, Jazz (it will do it; instruments voiced for that style do it more easily) |
| Skill level | Intermediate / Advanced / Professional |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does active single-coil design mean for my 7-string guitar?
Active single-coil circuitry means this pickup uses a preamp powered by a 9V battery to boost and shape the signal before it reaches your amp, eliminating hum and generating 2.00V output per string with a -107 dB noise floor. You get the articulate treble and clarity of a single-coil without the buzz and noise typical of passive designs, making it ideal for high-gain studio and live setups.
Is this a neck or bridge pickup?
This is a neck-position variant, optimized for capturing definition and clarity across lower frequencies while maintaining tight transient attack. It excels at lead work and percussive playing in the upper register.
What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?
The 707TWX-R is engineered for metal, progressive, extended-range, and studio session work. Its articulate treble, punchy tone, and hum-free operation make it less suited for blues and jazz styles, where players typically favor warmer, more rounded single-coil character.
Do I need to solder this pickup into my guitar?
No. The 7-pin connector system eliminates soldering requirements, making installation straightforward for both technicians and players. The pickup is designed to fit modern extended-range instruments up to 2.62 inches (66.5 mm) string width without modification.
How long does the 9V battery last?
A standard 9V battery provides approximately 1500 hours of playing time. The pickup also supports up to 27V DC maximum supply voltage if you prefer an external power source instead.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $10 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
