Seymour Duncan MortalCoil Neck 7-String Active Mount Pickup
The MortalCoil Neck captures articulate, defined response in the neck position of extended-range instruments, with an active humbucker design engineered specifically for 7-string configurations. This pickup combines aggressive character with clarity, making it essential for modern metal and high-gain tracking where note definition must cut through dense tunings and sit precisely in the mix.
Recording & Tone Character
Built with high-density copper coils, this active humbucker produces tight, controlled output with reduced noise inherent to single-coil designs. The advanced preamp features optimized audio definition and battery-life-optimizing circuitry, allowing three distinct pickup voicings to accommodate different playing dynamics and session requirements without sacrificing sustain or clarity during overdubs and layering.
Studio Integration & Mount
Engineered as an Active Mount (ActMt) configuration, this pickup integrates directly into compatible 7-string neck cavities with minimal modifications, streamlining instrument setup between sessions. The active system design ensures consistent performance across extended range frequencies, with balanced response suited to lower tunings and complex chord voicings that maintain definition during multi-take sessions and post-production.
