Description
Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Scourge Bridge 7-String Pickup — Matte Black
The Mark Holcomb Scourge Bridge 7-String is a high-output passive humbucker engineered for modern extended-range guitars, delivering aggressive articulation and cut without sacrificing clarity across all seven strings. Designed in collaboration with Trivium's Mark Holcomb, this pickup excels in heavy modern metal and progressive rock applications where harmonic definition and dynamic response matter as much as raw power.
Tone & Electronics
Built around an Alnico 8 magnet, this pickup generates high-output levels ideal for distorted and heavily compressed tones while maintaining note separation and sustain. The 4-conductor wiring with shield supports coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase switching, giving you flexibility to dial in everything from aggressive humbucking tones to voiced single-coil character within a single instrument.
Design & Construction
The matte black finish provides a refined aesthetic that complements modern instrument designs while resisting fingerprints and glare. As a passive humbucker, this pickup requires no battery and integrates seamlessly into standard guitar electronics without added complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this pickup and the Fishman Fluence Modern or EMG 81/85?
The Holcomb Scourge is a passive humbucker requiring no battery, whereas the Fluence is active and the EMG 81/85 require 9V power. All three are high-output designs for metal, but the Scourge emphasizes harmonic definition and note separation through its Alnico 8 magnet and coil-split capability, making it a versatile choice for players who want switching flexibility without external power.
Will this pickup fit my 7-string guitar?
This is a 7-string bridge position humbucker, so it is designed specifically for extended-range guitars in that position. Confirm your guitar uses standard humbucker spacing and bridge routing before ordering.
Can I split the coil or phase-switch this pickup?
Yes. The 4-conductor wiring with shield supports coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase switching, giving you flexibility to dial in single-coil voicings and tonal variations from a single pickup without additional hardware.
Does it require a battery?
No. The Holcomb Scourge is a passive humbucker, so it integrates directly into standard guitar electronics with no battery or active circuitry needed.
What genres is this pickup best suited for?
It excels in metal, progressive, djent, and hard rock applications where aggressive articulation, harmonic definition, and tight sustain are priorities. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk styles.
