EMG H4 and H4A

[JamesL]

Okay so I bought the schecter damien 7 a week or so back and it came in thursday with these pickups.. I just wanted to say these things are pretty repulsive.. Some of the most dull and lifeless humbuckers I've ever played... That being said, anyone have any suggestions for a 7 sting pickup?

I'll just +1 Schecter's poor choice of pickups. I've got "Duncan Designed" in mine, and they're... not good. Not good at all.

Can't really help you with your actual question though, I have zero 7-string experience :icon_jokercolor:

what kind of priority's do you have for the pickup, such as tone, fatness, sustain etc
and sorry, I barely have 4 strings figured out after 45 plus years on the guitar, seven is just to fat a neck for me.

Duncan Design and EMG-HZ are both examples of turds wrapped in a brand name.  Passive EMGs?

Yea, I have the duncan designed in this guitar as well, although they're not terrible they're far from good, I just haven't gotten around to changing the yet haha.

I just want something that doesn't sound so thin, One of my high priorities would also be having very high harmonics.. But I still want to retain the over all look of the guitar with the flat black and lack of pole pieces.. Even if it's just with a cover... I think It looks nice. The second pic is the damien.

Was that a question? lol Yes, They're passive.

I know they're passive.  I don't trust a passive EMG, an active Seymour Duncan, or a cocaine free Dallas Cowboy.

Sorry I was just confused.

Emg 707? Anyone tried these? or have any suggestions?

The SD Dave Mustaine Livewires are pretty badass. I put those in my Hellraiser. They sounded so much better than the EMG's. Plus they matched the black chrome hardware. ccasion14:

I found the same thing with my Schecter C-1 Custom.  They used Duncan's, but somehow the choice of pickups don't do the guitar justice.  I'm switching my pups out too. :tard:

I had the 707's in a guitar and they are not my taste.  They seemed to have a lot of sizzle, but very little body (or Bacon as I prefer to say).  Currently am working with TT on pickups for that guitar.  Need to do some more work on that.  Been busy at work recently.

Yep, my stolen Ibanez 7-string had the 707's in it. Worked great. I have a 707-81 I was going to try in it, but it's gone now.

Here's a clip of the 707's tuned to A#/Bb
