Seymour Duncan7-String Active Mount Sentient Neck Soapbar Pickup Black
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sentient Active Mount is a passive 7-string neck humbucker housed in a black soapbar cover for a guitar with an active pickup rout. Its balanced, articulate vintage-output voice is described with pristine cleans, fluid high-gain leads, broad harmonics, and dynamic response. The exposed-pole soapbar presentation gives it an active-style appearance, while the four-conductor lead wire opens up multiple wiring options. It is built for extended-range guitars, including low-tuning use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 7-string neck positions in guitars already routed for active humbuckers
- Low-tuned extended-range playing needing articulate cleans and fluid high-gain leads
- Custom wiring work that uses the pickup’s four-conductor lead wire
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Direct retrofit into guitars without an active-humbucker rout.
- Players needing a pickup for an instrument other than a 7-string humbucker-equipped guitar.
