Seymour Duncan Blackouts Active Mount Active 7 String HB Neck (Black)

The Seymour Duncan Blackouts AHB-1 is a high-output active humbucker designed specifically for seven-string guitars, delivering aggressive clarity through Alnico 5 magnets and a fully active circuit. Built for extended-range players who need articulation under extreme gain, this neck position pickup maintains note definition across all seven strings without the mud that plagues many high-output designs. USA-designed and manufactured, it ships with single-conductor wiring plus battery cable for straightforward installation in active-routed instruments.

Alnico 5 pole pieces provide warmth and harmonic complexity while the active preamp ensures consistent output regardless of playing dynamics. The single-conductor cable configuration simplifies routing in tight electronics cavities common to seven-string builds. This neck position humbucker balances well with bridge Blackouts models, maintaining tonal cohesion across the fretboard. Active mount construction requires a battery compartment and differs from passive routing dimensions, so verify cavity compatibility before installation. The black finish complements dark hardware and modern aesthetics typical of extended-range instruments.
