Originally crafted for the neck position of the Ibanez® Universe, this pickup strikes the perfect balance between warmth and clarity that seven-string players demand. The design philosophy centres on preventing that dreaded tuba-like tone from the low B string whilst maintaining the rich character needed for the neck position.
The Blaze™ Neck Model achieves this through carefully scooped mids that brighten the low frequencies, paired with moderate output levels that keep things clean without unnecessary muddiness. This thoughtful approach means you won’t get bogged down in sludgy low-end response.
Versatility defines this pickup’s character — it handles everything from pristine jazz tones through clean amplification right through to massive walls of sound under heavy overdrive. What’s particularly interesting is how many guitarists have found success using the Blaze™ Neck Model in the bridge position when working with high-gain settings, where power chords maintain their openness and single notes cut through with remarkable clarity.
