The Nordic Gawd Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 i was recently looking at the major benefits of a 7 string. however there are no pickups for a 7 string that are comparable to the holy grails blues and sound wise. at least that i'm aware of. can someone please direct me to a site with great pickups for a 7 string? please dont post something sarcastic like google. if you dont know dont post.

GuitarMaestro Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio released some of there most famous PU's as 7-string versions as well. One of my favorite 6-string PU's the DiMarzio ToneZone was released for 7-strings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nordic Gawd Posted December 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 yeah but im not so sure that they are comparable to some lace holy grails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 holy grails... first thing that comes to mind is the dimarzio paf-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy McFeely Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 it might be tough, not a lot of blues guys goin 7 string. now there are a ton of jazz guys who use 7 strings, john pizzarelli comes to mind. maybe do a search on him, then find out who makes his pick ups. just a thought.

JohnJohn Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 This may sound pricey,but some people do this for a reasonable fee.What about having a pick-up custom made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarMaestro Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hmm....I have to admit that I dont understand you. There is no famous blues-player I know who plays a 7-string. If you are aiming for a typical blues sound why do you want to use a 7-string at all? Playing blues on a 7-string will not sound traditional anway....

The Nordic Gawd Posted December 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 never was looking for a traditional blues playing style. i was just looking for blues pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
