Description
Seymour Duncan 7-String Distortion Neck, Passive Mount, Matte Black Pickup
This 7-String Distortion Neck pickup delivers aggressive, articulate output with the clarity needed for extended-range instruments. The hot coil windings and ceramic magnet combination produces cutting highs and defined lows essential for modern metal and high-gain applications on seven-string guitars.
Tone & Electronics
The 15.11 kΩ DC resistance positions this neck pickup in the hot category, generating substantial output for distorted tones without sacrificing note definition. A resonant peak at 4.54 KHz emphasizes the midrange frequencies that cut through dense mixes, making individual notes and chords articulate even at high gain settings.
Construction & Design
Built as a passive humbucker with a ceramic bar magnet and four-conductor cable, this pickup offers wiring flexibility for coil-splitting and phase-switching configurations. Each unit is handmade in Santa Barbara, California, and the passive mount style ensures straightforward installation in standard humbucker cavities without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pickup right for metal and high-gain styles?
Yes. The hot coil windings and ceramic magnet are tuned for modern metal, djent, and hard rock, with a resonant peak at 4.54 kHz that keeps notes articulate even at extreme gain levels. It is not designed for jazz, blues, or folk styles.
What does passive mount mean, and will it fit my 7-string?
Passive mount means the pickup uses standard humbucker cavity dimensions and relies on mechanical fastening rather than active electronics. It is designed for 7-string guitars with standard humbucker routing and will not require modification to existing cavities.
What wiring options does the four-conductor cable provide?
The four-conductor cable allows for coil-splitting and phase-switching configurations, giving you tonal flexibility to dial in everything from split-coil clarity to full humbucker aggression without rewiring.
How does this compare to the EMG 81/85 or DiMarzio Crunch Lab?
This is a passive humbucker like the Crunch Lab, offering handmade American construction and a resonant peak tuned for articulate midrange. Unlike active pickups such as the EMG 81/85, it requires no battery and delivers organic feel with comparable output and clarity on extended-range guitars.
What is included, and is installation complex?
The pickup comes ready to install with a four-conductor cable and matte black cover. Installation is straightforward into any standard humbucker cavity using passive mounting; no soldering or special tools are required beyond basic guitar wiring skills.
