7 String Pickups…What a headache

Yes. Interestingly, the original Korn RG was spec'd with DiM PAFs. Feel like amps/pedals these days have more than plenty of gain, you can always add more there. I guess that was the rationale for the boys back then, as they used Rectifiers. Hotter pups do have their own vibe and place, of course, with the way the compress, stark clarity etc. But I suppose, since these days it's possible to get a pretty good guitar for $500 or less, buying some pups is not a big deal, though finding PAF voiced/output ones in 7 string format is a bit tougher. Apart from DiM, I guess Seymour offers 59s and Jazz in 7 string? Maybe BKP does too, but they're
Indeed, the PRS is not too shabby .Originally posted by dominusYour rant would sound better with an A8 magnet, it'll beef it up some without sacrificing some of the whine.

Mm, I hope to get a 7 string at some point, though it's impossible to find one one with moderate/low output pups and a non-locking whammy at a wallet friendly budget. Everything's either Floyd or hardtail and with hotter pups (active or passive), which, given the typical targeted market and what they get used for, is not surprising. The AZ 7s Ibanez put out last year look sweet (the HSS twigs my gas a bit), but they're Prestige and over 2k; and some of those Vola Oz models look nice too, but only a bit less $ than Ibanez.“I can play the hell out of a riff.

I posted a video above. They sound great through my Mesa amp. Very defined and balanced especially the low notes.

Well, better get to saving pennies regardless .Originally posted by dominusYour rant would sound better with an A8 magnet, it'll beef it up some without sacrificing some of the whine.
