Description
Seymour Duncan 7-String Distortion Neck, Passive Mount, BlkMetal Pickup
This high-output passive humbucker is built for 7-string players running serious gain through metal and modern rock rigs. The largest ceramic bar magnet in the neck position keeps clarity and sustain locked in tight, matching the aggression of high-output bridge pickups without losing definition in extended tunings. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup brings professional-grade construction that stands up to the demands of touring and session work.
Tone & Output
The ceramic magnet design and large ceramic bar magnet construction generate the highest output of neck humbuckers, keeping low-end tight and midrange present even through dense 7-string voicings. Vacuum wax potting kills microphonic feedback and squeal, so you stay locked in solid under high-gain conditions and aggressive playing—no noise surprises on stage.
Construction & Wiring
Built with a nickel-silver bottom plate for durability and consistent tone across gigs, this pickup features a 4-conductor lead wire for coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase options if your rig demands it. The black metal humbucker cover fits modern instruments and keeps the passive design architecture clean and reliable.
