Description
Seymour Duncan Dino C Machete 7-String Passive Mount Bridge White Pickup
The Dino C Machete is a high-output active bridge pickup engineered for modern extended-range 7-string instruments, delivering aggressive articulation and clarity across extended tunings. This pickup combines aggressive voicing with the convenience of passive mounting, making it a straightforward upgrade for players seeking enhanced definition and sustain without complicated wiring modifications.
Tone & Output Characteristics
Built with a high-output coil design and powered by an internal 9-volt preamp, this bridge model excels at capturing tight, punchy low-end and articulate treble response ideal for palm-muted riffing and lead work on stage. The active circuitry ensures consistent gain and frequency response across all seven strings, eliminating the uneven pickup response common in passive designs across extended string counts—critical for tight live performance and reliable tuning stability during long sets.
Construction & Specifications
The soapbar-style casing houses seven individually optimized pole pieces calibrated for standard 7-string spacing, paired with black bobbins and black pole screws for reliable performance. Passive mount configuration allows installation without rewiring or additional preamp enclosures, streamlining the installation process for most 7-string platforms and keeping your instrument road-ready with minimal downtime.
