Seymour Duncan Loomis Noumenon Neck Matte Black 7 str Pickup

Seymour Duncan Loomis Noumenon Neck Matte Black 7-String Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Loomis Noumenon neck pickup delivers the articulate, controlled output that extended-range 7-string players demand on stage and in the studio. Designed in collaboration with Fredrik Åkesson of Meshuggah, this pickup balances clarity and aggression across all seven strings without sacrificing definition in palm-muted passages—critical for tight, professional live performance. The matte black finish and precision engineering reflect Seymour Duncan's commitment to professional-grade tone for working musicians.

Tone & Output Character

At 9.38k ohms DC resistance, this neck position pickup sits in the moderate-output range, keeping each string voice distinct and defined through the mix. The Alnico 5 magnet structure yields a focused, punchy response that cuts through on stage in both clean articulation and driven tones across seven-string tunings—whether you're running low tunings or hybrid configurations.

Design & Construction

Built in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup is engineered for road reliability and hassle-free installation. Triangular feet fit standard humbucker routing on most 7-string platforms. The 4-conductor shielded cable gives you wiring flexibility—series, parallel, or split configurations—so you can dial in exactly the tonal character you need for your rig without rewiring later.
