Seymour Duncan SH-14 Custom 5 Humbucker, 7-String, Open Black Overview
A moderate to high output humbucker perfect for pop, country, blues, classic rock, and heavy rock.The Custom 5 SH-14 is one of Seymour Duncan's most popular pick-ups and has been specifically re-designed to capture the deeper tones and wider range of sound found in the new generation of seven-stringed instruments.
The 6-string Custom 5 was developed in part by contributors on the Seymour Duncan web user group forum who replaced the magnets in their Custom or Custom Custom pickups with Alnico 5 magnets. Compared to Seymour Duncan's SH-5 and SH-11, the Custom 5's tone is more vintage, with less distortion, but it's still very strong and powerful. Clean sounds are rich and full with enhanced presence. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable.
The versatile Custom 5 7-string is a moderate to high output humbucker that's perfect for pop, country, blues, classic rock, and heavy rock with its deeper bottom end and expanded output. Recommended for the bridge position; add a Seymour Duncan SH-1n 7-string pickup (sold separately) in the neck position for real-deal P.A.F. tones.
