Title: Neck seven string pickup for proggy stuff
Post by: Myxu on July 17, 2012, 04:20:24 PM

Hi there!
I'm new here, so I hope that there haven't been topic like that, and as well that I'll be warmly welcomed among BK fans :)

Lately I've been gassing for custom made seven string guitar and I'm wondering what pickups I should use; Of course - nobody can judge what is going to suit my ears, but concidering my setup and taste I'd like to have your advice what BK would be best for me.

Without further ado - If I'd be about six string, I'd definitly stick to PRS dragon 2 / Dimarzio D-Sonic combo - it's my favourite p-ups, and I'd like to use it as well in seven string, but there is no dragon 2 for ss, so I'm looking something similar... I thought about Emerald, what are your oppinion about seven string Emerald pickups?

My new seven string will be pretty similar to blackmachines - it will be 25.5', alder/ash body with maple cap, rosewood neck with ebony fingerboard. This beauty will be played through Budda SD30, and I  don't play ultra low tuning shuggah metal - mostly proggressive stuff, with tiny djent inspirations. If it won't be emerald - what would you suggest?

Thanks and stay tuned
Myxu
