DiMarzio's Blaze DP701BK is a single–coil middle pickup engineered specifically for seven–string guitars where clarity and control matter most. The core challenge with extended–range instruments is maintaining definition across the full frequency spectrum—especially keeping a low B string tight without muddying the treble response. This pickup delivers tight, articulate lows paired with bright, clean highs, matching the tonal character of Blaze humbuckers run in split mode.
Built as a single–coil design, the Blaze middle operates with the hum–cancelling efficiency expected from DiMarzio's extended–range platform. The pickup excels at preserving note definition across all seven strings, eliminating the mud that plagues standard configurations on lower tunings. Installation follows standard single–coil mounting; wiring integrates directly into three–position switching systems. Output remains consistent whether paired with other Blaze units or mixed with alternative pickups, making it a practical choice for players already invested in Blaze hardware.
Seven–string players working in drop tunings, metal, or extended genres benefit from this pickup's controlled response. Session engineers and studio players appreciate the controlled dynamics that translate cleanly through both amp and interface. The DP701BK's black cover suits modern aesthetic builds without compromising the electrical performance beneath.
