EMG 85-7X Active 7 String Humbucker Pickup, Black

The 85-7X is based on one of EMGs first pickups, the 85. Featuring close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets, the 85-7X is a powerful seven string guitar pickup with exceptional tone and versatility. The Alnico magnets of this model provide a muscular growl and smooth lead tones, enabling you to play everything from the blues to the most extreme metal. Paired with the X series preamp, the 85-7X provides increased headroom, creating an organic and open voice that bridges the gap between passive and active pickups. Although often used in the neck position, make no mistake, the EMG 85-7X sounds great as a bridge pickup thanks to its exceptional smoothness and soul. This pickup pairs well with just about every other humbucker in our line and using our solderless system, it makes changing your tone easier than ever.
