EMG 81 7's?

Codyyy · 08-15-2007, 07:59 PM

First off, if you had a set of EMG 707's, would you swap the bridge at least for an 81-7? Also, since it isn't even on the website, how does one get a hold of an 81-7?

Oh also, where is everybody getting Seymour Duncan Blackout 7's? Which would you suggest?

They Have 707, 81-7, 60-7, 808

As for Blackout7, they're supposed to email me when they get them in...

Depending on your guitar... I have a Maple thru Magogany (Maple domines the tone, less bassy) and I really love the 707 in the bridge. But I also have a 707 in my RG7 basswood bolt-on wich I don't really like.

Thanks, and do you think an 81-7 and 60-7 combo would be beter than 707's?

It all depends on the amp and style man. I have vast experience with both the EMG 707 and the 81-7. They both favor different kinds of amps, etc. If you live closeby, you can check it out for yourself sometime. Fairly soon I'm going to have guitars with both pickups.

I prefer the 81-7 through my amp, but the 707 sounds good through it as well. Through my bandmates Mesa, the 707 definitely sounds better.

For an amp, I have a Carvin V3. It's shockingly similar in tone to a rectifier (well, it can be tweaked as such). The guitar in question is the Schecter Hellraiser 7, wondering if once I get it I should swap out for other EMG's, or even Blackout 7's.

Other EMG's would definitely be easier though... since then I could just use that easyconnect deal.

Id personally rather have Blackouts, but the EMG 81/60 thing could work too. The first thing I'd do before doing any of this, is wiring your 707s for 18v and seeing if you like it better. That's what we always do, and I think it definitely helps.

Is this "we" perhaps a guitar shop? Because I live in the Boston area....

Nope, I think zimbloth is talking about the ss.org EMG collective - most people have tried the 18V mod.

Codyyy · 08-15-2007, 09:17 PM

Heh, what about the 27 volt mod...

Eeevil thoughts.

Strap a car battery to it!

lol

I'd definately wait at least until you get a chance to hear the Blackout's since they're supposed to be the same, only quieter. But I guess we'll see.
