Frequently Asked Questions
Are these pickups right for 7-string guitars?
Yes—the passive mount configuration is engineered specifically for 7-string models, ensuring proper string alignment and consistent response across all seven strings. They're voiced for extended-range playing and drop tunings.
What's included in this set?
This is a complete electronics package: both pickups, potentiometers, hardware, quick-connector cables, capacitor, output jack, battery clip, and wiring harness. Everything you need for drop-in installation without sourcing additional parts.
What genres or playing styles are these pickups best suited for?
They're optimized for metal, progressive, and djent styles where high-gain clarity and articulate response are essential. The aggressive output and punchy definition work best in heavy, high-distortion contexts; they're not designed for jazz, blues, or country applications.
How do the neck and bridge pickups differ?
The neck uses an Alinco 5 magnet for balanced, warm articulation; the bridge uses a ceramic magnet for more aggressive output. This pairing balances definition with sustain across the full seven-string range.
