Duncan Dealer: 7-String Pups, Internet, please help

[Kac]

Can anyone give me a guide to a Duncan dealer on the Internet that would be able to save me some money on Pick-ups for my new Ibanez RG 7-string?
Specificly Duncan Distortion and Jazz Humbuckers.

I usually buy pickups at the local guitar shop, but I've found that ordering online can save a lot of money.

Don't want used ones either :13:

Thank you very much.

EDIT: I've found the Duncan Distortion on Musician's Friend for $76.29, but they don't have the Jazz.

Well it looks like I may be talking to Lew, I've heard nothing but good things about him and I can get both pickups for $154 before shipping,
Lew - Be forwarned you will be dealing with me.

Check out Martinsixstringcustoms, too. He's a good guy.

Hmmm, just something I was thinking about... I have all rails pickups in my strat. Do they make any rails humbuckers for a 7-string.
This can be any company not just SD. Personally I've never heard of any, but I am a fan of rails pickups.

I don't know of any. You'd probably have to get a custom made one.

Actually... there is one... the EMG 81-7

Well that will be something to consider. I know Mick Thompson has EMG's in his Ibanez's... I'll probably end of going with my plan of DD and Jazz though...
Does the EMG 81-7 work better if the guitar has a High b String? :laugh2:

On a serious note, be warned that if you do EMGs on a 7 string, you have to route the pickup cavities. For some dumbass reason, they use bass pickup cases for the 7 string pickups. :evil:

Thanks for the warning, I'll just use Duncans :13:
I don't like the high B anyway... :laugh2:

Isn't the EMG 81-7 standard size?
