The EMG 57-7 Active Humbucker Pickup delivers classic PAF-inspired tone with modern active clarity, offering tight low end, articulate mids, and expressive highs for 7-string guitars.

The EMG 57-7 Active Humbucker 7-String Guitar Pickup – Black Chrome blends vintage warmth with modern precision, making it an ideal choice for players who want organic tone without sacrificing output or clarity. Inspired by classic PAF humbuckers, the EMG 57-7 uses an Alnico V magnet and active circuitry to deliver a rich, dynamic response with extended frequency range.

Designed specifically for 7-string guitars, the 57-7 offers tight and controlled low frequencies for extended-range tuning, articulate mids for complex chords, and smooth highs that remain clear even under high gain. Unlike traditional passive pickups, the active design ensures consistency, reduced noise, and enhanced definition across all strings.

Finished in sleek Black Chrome, the EMG 57-7 pairs refined aesthetics with professional performance. Whether used in progressive metal, modern rock, fusion, or high-gain applications, this pickup provides expressive dynamics and powerful tone with exceptional balance.
