Description
Seymour Duncan Holcomb Scourge Bridge 7-String Black Cover Pickup
The Mark Holcomb Scourge Bridge is a high-output seven-string humbucker built for extended-range metal and progressive work. Designed in collaboration with Trivium's Mark Holcomb, this pickup cuts through live mixes with aggressive articulation and clarity across the wider frequency range that modern seven-string tunings demand on stage.
Tone & Output Character
Alnico 8 magnets paired with a high-output design (77.0 output) deliver thick, punchy midrange and defined treble response built for chugging riffs and lead work in a full mix. The EQ curve—bass at 4.8, mids at 4.5, and treble at 8.5—balances aggression with note separation, keeping riffs articulate and readable even at volume, avoiding the muddiness that can plague seven-string pickups in live settings.
Construction & Reliability
The four-conductor plus shield wiring opens up flexible coil-splitting and phase options for live tonal tweaking. Black cover finish and passive humbucker design (no battery required) mean straightforward installation into any compatible seven-string bridge position, with zero complications for road use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this pickup different from standard seven-string pickups?
The Scourge uses Alnico 8 magnets and a specific EQ curve (bass 4.8, mids 4.5, treble 8.5) that balances aggression with note separation, preventing the muddiness common in extended-range applications. Its 77.0 output delivers the punch needed for modern metal and progressive tunings.
Is this pickup suitable for jazz or blues?
No, this pickup is engineered specifically for metal, progressive, and extended-range applications. Its aggressive articulation and high output are optimized for heavy riffs and modern drop tunings, not the smooth, warm tones preferred in jazz or blues.
What is the four-conductor wiring good for?
Four-conductor plus shield wiring enables coil-splitting and phase options, giving you flexibility to experiment with different tonal variations during recording or live play without rewiring.
Do I need a battery or power supply to use this pickup?
No, the Scourge is a passive humbucker design that requires no battery or external power—it installs directly into any compatible seven-string bridge position.
Will this fit my seven-string guitar?
This is a seven-string bridge pickup with a black cover, designed for passive humbucker cavities in seven-string guitars. Verify your current pickup's dimensions and wiring cavity before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
