7-string guitars are progressively winning fans and this reason is making the pickup manufacturers release more models for this kind of guitars that are mainly used by metal guitar players for its extra bass sound. 2 companies have recently announced new 7-string humbucker models, Swineshead, that already released other 7-string models, with the Venom 7 and EMG with the MG-707TW pickups.
The specifications of the Swineshead Venom 7 pickup are large ceramic bar magnet, 17.3k and 12.2k bridge and neck, respectively, resistances and 14 black hex head polepieces. The pickup provides a clear, bright and high output tone with any amp configuration (from clean to heavily distortioned) and is handmade and is available in wood and plastic version with many finishes available for each version, the prices are £60 for the plastic and £75 for the wood version.
While the EMG model, the MG-707TW, based on the also 7-string model EMG-707, is an active humbucker model with single-coil (with push/pull function) and triple-coil (activating the humbucker and the single-coil using the dual internal preamps) options and alnico magnets.
Both pickups include all the material and tools necessary to mount them, but if you are not sure we recommend to ask it to a professional.
