Seymour Duncan Corey B Blackout Neck 7 str Active Mount Pickup

Seymour Duncan Corey B Blackout Neck 7-String Active Mount Pickup

The Corey B Blackout Neck is a high-output active humbucker engineered specifically for extended-range 7-string guitars, delivering aggressive articulation and controlled dynamics in the neck position. Built around a potent Alnico 5 magnet and paired with an active preamp circuit, this pickup translates pick attack and string vibration with precision while maintaining clarity across the full frequency spectrum. Purpose-built for players who demand professional-grade tone from their extended-range instruments.

Electronics & Tonal Character

The active preamp with integrated gain and dynamic response shaping allows you to dial in everything from tight, articulate lows to controlled high-end presence. The neck position configuration is optimized to capture sustain and depth while avoiding the muddiness that passive pickups often exhibit in lower-tuned, wider-spaced 7-string setups.

Build & Installation

This pickup utilizes active mount configuration, meaning the preamp circuitry is housed within the pickup assembly itself—streamlining wiring and reducing the footprint required in your guitar cavity. The design integrates seamlessly with most modern 7-string instruments that support active electronics.
