Seymour Duncan Blackouts

Hello

I was wondering if there were any reviews on these pick ups?

How easy is it to install them to a non EMG routed guitar?

How does the 6 string version compare to the 7 string version?

How do they compare to the EMGs?

Hopefully some of these questions can be answered

Thanks

There are numerous threads on this topic, including ones started by myself. Do a search and you should find all the information that you need.

In short though: the 6 and 7 versions are the same. The standard-sized 7-string Blackouts retrofit in any non-EMG guitar. Blackouts have all the benefits of EMGs, but with superior tone and fidelity IMO. If you like EMGs you'd like these, but a lot of people who otherwise don't like active pickups love the Blackouts.

For more detailed information, like I said do a search, this has all been covered many times

Yeah I noticed loadsa threads after I posted

but after reading some of them

One person had installed it on an RG7321 and bored two holes into the back of the guitar

Does anyone have a tutorial on installing these on an ibanez type guitar?

When you first open up the Pickups section there are sticky threads that remain up at the top (the ones in bright blue) that are usually frequent topics/commonly asked questions or important info.

One of them is about this exact topic:

That should have what you're looking for.
