Independent shopping perspective
Jeff Loomis’s 7-string neck humbucker is voiced to preserve detail across fast picking, legato lines, and clean playing. Individual Alnico 5 rod magnets contribute the single-coil-like clarity described for this model, while the focused bottom end keeps extended-range low notes from getting boomy. Its passive-humbucker-inspired feel is paired with the power, headroom, and very low noise associated with its active design. The result is a black neck pickup calibrated for the extended range of Loomis’s signature 7-string guitars.
