The EMG 707 is a fantastic option for 7-string players wanting a PAF-inspired tone with the EMG active design's clarity and punch. It's a solid upgrade for those seeking a warmer, more vintage character than the 85, without sacrificing the EMG’s signature low noise and high output. Ideal for rock, blues, and even some metal applications where a more articulate and singing tone is desired.

Product Description

EMG 707 Black, Humbuckers for 7-String Guitars

Active pickups in electric guitars: this is where opinions differ. But even sceptics have to admit one thing: the EMG pickups sound fantastic and that without any ambient noise, and the long list of prominent users (including David Gilmour, Steve Lukather and Kirk Hammett from Metallica) simply speaks for itself!

  • EMG also has something to offer for friends of 7-string guitars. The EMG 707 is based on the EMG 85
  • which is modelled on the legendary PAF and
  • thanks to its Alnico magnets
  • produces exactly that legendary
  • warm singing sound.
  • 2-Coil with Alnico magnets
  • Same tone and output as EMG 85
  • Cabinet dimensions: 38 x 89 mm
  • Includes potentiometers and cable
PROS

Frequently Asked Questions

The 707 retains the 85's core character but offers a slightly warmer, more rounded tone profile due to subtle design tweaks and the Alnico II magnet.
While versatile, the 707’s tone is more suited to classic rock and blues; extreme drop tunings might reveal limitations in low-end grunt compared to more aggressive EMG models.
The included potentiometers and cable simplify the process, but ensure your guitar’s wiring and pickup routing are compatible with the 707’s dimensions and active circuitry.
