The Seymour Duncan Dino Cazares Retribution Neck Pickup – 7-String Passive delivers high-gain clarity, fast attack and dynamic response tailored for extended-range guitars and heavy music styles.

The Seymour Duncan Dino Cazares Retribution Neck Pickup – 7-String Passive Mount is designed in collaboration with Dino Cazares (Fear Factory, Divine Heresy) to provide exceptional attack definition, increased headroom and maximum string clarity, especially for low tunings and aggressive playing. Its specially tuned internal preamp delivers a powerful, punchy tone without the dead or sterile sound sometimes found in other active designs. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Like the acclaimed Blackouts series, Retribution pickups maintain an organic open sound that is huge and powerful with reduced noise and enhanced dynamic response. Dino Cazares himself emphasises its evenly voiced response and articulate pick attack — ideal for 7-string guitars where low B and F# strings demand clarity and balance. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

This neck-position humbucker is crafted to deliver smooth low end, focused mids, and crisp highs that cut through mixes when playing metal, djent, progressive or modern heavy styles. Designed and wound at the Seymour Duncan factory in Santa Barbara, California. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
