Description
Seymour Duncan Dino C Machete 7-String Passive Mount Bridge Black Pickup
The Dino C Machete is a potent active humbucker engineered to deliver aggressive, articulate output in the bridge position of extended-range instruments. Built with black bobbins and black pole screws, this pickup combines modern active circuitry with passive mounting convenience, making it a straightforward upgrade for players who demand clarity and punch without rewiring complications.
Active Power & Mounting
This pickup operates as an active humbucker in a passive mount configuration, meaning it integrates into standard bridge cavities without requiring additional routing or shielding modifications. The 9-volt battery requirement powers the preamp stage, allowing the active electronics to shape tone before the signal reaches your amp—a decisive advantage for cutting through dense mixes and maintaining definition across high-gain applications.
Seven-String Optimization
Seven individual pole pieces are precisely spaced to align with standard 7-string guitar bridge geometry, ensuring consistent magnetic coupling and balanced output across all seven strings. This focused design eliminates the tonal dead zones common to misaligned pickups and guarantees even response whether playing open low B or high-register leads.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included and what do I need to power it?
The pickup includes the Dino C Machete itself with black bobbins and black pole screws. You'll need a 9-volt battery to power the active preamp stage; the passive mount design handles integration into your standard 7-string bridge cavity without additional routing or modifications.
Will this fit my 7-string guitar without modification?
Yes. The Dino C Machete uses a passive-mount configuration designed for standard 7-string bridge cavities, so it drops into most extended-range instruments without routing or shielding work.
What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?
This pickup is optimized for metal, djent, progressive, and high-gain applications where aggressive articulation and cutting clarity are non-negotiable. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk styles.
How does the active design help with tone and output?
Active circuitry shapes and boosts the signal before it leaves the pickup, delivering high output and aggressive character with tight definition that cuts through dense mixes and maintains clarity across all seven strings, especially in high-gain contexts.
How does this compare to other 7-string bridge pickups?
The Dino C Machete sits alongside pickups like the EMG 81/85 7-String, Fishman Fluence Modern 7-String, and DiMarzio Crunchlab 7-String in the high-output, extended-range market. Its active-in-passive-mount approach offers the tone shaping of active electronics with the installation simplicity of a traditional passive pickup.
