The Seymour Duncan Blackouts AHB-1 set delivers high-output active humbucker performance specifically voiced for seven-string guitars. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this pair combines a neck pickup with an Alnico 5 magnet and a bridge pickup featuring a ceramic magnet to balance articulate cleans with aggressive distortion. The active circuitry provides a clear, responsive frequency response that maintains note definition even under extreme gain.
Each pickup in this set ships with single-conductor cable plus battery wire for the onboard preamp system. The neck position's Alnico 5 magnet delivers warmth and sustain, while the bridge position's ceramic magnet contributes tight low-end response critical for extended-range playing. This active mount configuration requires a 9-volt battery to power the low-impedance output stage, reducing noise and maintaining signal integrity across longer cable runs. The black finish complements modern extended-range instruments.
