Description
EMG 707X 7-String Active Soapbar Pickup in White
The EMG 707X delivers the extended-range clarity and headroom that seven-string players demand, with a refined active circuit that preserves natural dynamics rather than compressing them. Built on EMG's proven X-Series architecture, this pickup balances aggressive articulation with responsive feel, making it equally at home in tight tunings or standard drop-tuned work. The white soapbar housing fits standard EMG cavities and integrates seamlessly into existing setups.
Tone & Electronics
The Alnico V magnet structure with wide-aperture coils delivers extended frequency response and string-to-string definition across all seven strings. The low-impedance X-preamp circuit operates at 10 Kohm output impedance and produces 2.00V single-string output and 4.50V strummed output, giving you passive-like dynamic feel without the noise floor of unpowered designs.
Installation & Compatibility
This pickup ships with EMG's Solderless Install System, eliminating the need for rewiring experience—connections snap into place without iron work. The package includes a split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws, and springs; operation requires a single 9V battery that draws only 80 microamps, extending battery life considerably between changes.

Reviews
At a Glance
The EMG 707X is an active 7-string humbucker built for extended-range aggression without sacrificing dynamic feel—its low-impedance X-preamp preserves natural response while the Alnico V magnet delivers articulate, string-to-string clarity across tight drop tunings and standard setups. Intermediate to professional players working in metal, djent, and progressive styles will appreciate the extended frequency response and tight, responsive character that cuts through dense mixes on stage and in the studio. The Solderless Install System means you can drop it into any standard EMG cavity without soldering, making upgrades straightforward and reliable.
Who This Is For
| Best suited for | Metal, Djent, Progressive, Extended Range, Drop Tunings |
|---|---|
| Tonal character | Articulate and defined, extended frequency response, low noise floor, dynamic feel, tight and responsive |
| Less specialized for | Jazz, Blues, Folk (it will do it; instruments voiced for that style do it more easily) |
| Skill level | Intermediate / Advanced / Professional |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pickup suitable for standard and drop tunings on a 7-string?
Yes. The 707X is engineered for both standard and heavily drop-tuned 7-string work, with extended frequency response and articulate definition across all seven strings regardless of tuning depth.
What's included, and do I need soldering experience to install it?
The package includes the pickup, Solderless Install System, split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws, and springs. No soldering is required—all connections snap into place.
How long does a 9V battery last in this pickup?
The 707X draws only 80 microamps, which extends battery life considerably between changes compared to standard active designs; exact lifespan depends on playing volume and frequency.
What's the tone character compared to passive 7-string pickups?
The X-preamp circuit delivers passive-like dynamic feel without the noise floor of unpowered designs, providing articulate and defined tone with tight responsiveness and low noise across extended-range frequencies.
Will this fit my existing 7-string guitar cavity?
Yes, if your guitar has a standard EMG 35 soapbar cavity, the 707X fits directly without modification. Confirm your current cavity is EMG-spec before purchasing.
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. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
