Description
Seymour Duncan Loomis Noumenon Neck Zebra 7-String Pickup
The Loomis Noumenon Neck is a high-output humbucker engineered for extended-range 7-string instruments, delivering focused midrange aggression and tight articulation without sacrificing harmonic complexity. Built in collaboration with Fredrik Thordendal, this pickup handles heavy tunings and intense playing dynamics with precision and clarity on stage and in the studio. The zebra coil configuration and handcrafted construction ensure consistent performance night after night.
Tone & Performance
With a DC resistance of 9.38k Ohms, this neck pickup achieves a balanced output that captures note definition while maintaining sufficient gain for high-gain amplification. The Alnico 5 magnet provides responsive transient control and natural harmonic overtones, making it responsive to pick dynamics and finger nuance across all seven strings—critical for live reliability and studio tracking.
Design & Build Quality
Handmade in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup features a 4-conductor shielded cable for flexible wiring options and noise rejection in any rig. The triangular feet bottom plate mounts securely into standard humbucker routes, ensuring stable installation and proper string alignment for extended-range instruments in the hands of touring and gigging players.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this pickup different from the bridge version?
The Loomis Noumenon Neck is voiced specifically for neck-position balance, with a DC resistance of 9.38k Ohms that captures note definition while maintaining sufficient gain for high-gain amplification. It pairs with the higher-output bridge model to create a cohesive extended-range system.
Will this work in my 7-string guitar?
Yes—this pickup is designed for 7-string instruments and mounts via a triangular feet bottom plate into standard humbucker routes, ensuring proper string alignment and stable installation for extended-range guitars.
What genres and tunings is this suited for?
This pickup excels in metal, djent, and progressive music, especially in drop tunings and high-gain contexts. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk applications.
How does the Alnico 5 magnet affect the tone?
The Alnico 5 magnet provides responsive transient control and natural harmonic overtones, making it reactive to pick dynamics and finger nuance across all seven strings while maintaining clarity in high-gain settings.
What's included with the pickup?
The Loomis Noumenon Neck comes with a 4-conductor shielded cable for flexible wiring options and noise rejection, enabling both series and parallel configurations depending on your needs.
