Description
The Sentient neck pickup was designed from the ground up for 7 and 8-string guitars, so you’re not stuck with a downtuned six-string design that turns to mush on the low end. Its Alnico 5 magnet paired with medium-output coils gives you that classic PAF-inspired warmth, but with enough articulation to keep every note distinct even when you’re deep in extended-range territory.
- Alnico 5 magnet for vintage-leaning warmth with modern clarity
- Medium strength coils balance clean sparkle and high-gain thickness
- Active ‘Soapbar’ mount with exposed, adjustable pole pieces
- Black finish
- Built specifically for 7-string instruments
This version comes in the Active Soapbar mount with exposed poles, letting you dial in output on individual strings. Pair it with any 7 or 8-string Seymour Duncan bridge pickup for a matched, cohesive setup across your whole tonal range.
Tonally, the Sentient shines on bright to semi-warm tonewoods, think maple through korina, and works well with both maple and rosewood fingerboards. It’s not just versatile on paper either: players like Aaron Marshall (Intervals), Keith Merrow, Jason Frankhouser, and Patrick Sheridan (Fit for an Autopsy) have leaned on it for its blend of complexity and low-end control.
Whether you’re chasing lush cleans or tight, high-gain riffing, this pickup gives 7-string players the articulate low-end and harmonic depth that six-string designs simply can’t deliver.
