Seymour Duncan Blackouts 7-String Phase II Set (AHB-1s) The second generation of Seymour Duncan's active Blackouts line. Phase II took everything players loved about the original Blackouts and made it more organic — less compression, more dynamics, and a more natural feel under the picking hand while keeping the massive active output. The 7-string bridge pickup delivers tight, punishing lows and screaming highs that stay articulate on the low B, and the neck pickup stays clear and fluid for leads. Active 9V-powered humbuckers voiced as the aggressive alternative to the EMG 707 — brutal when you dig in, responsive when you back off. Includes bridge and neck pickups in standard 7-string humbucker size, dropping into any 7 with humbucker routes. For modern metal players who want active power without the sterility.
