DiMarzio DP708BK Crunch Lab 7, Black

The DiMarzio Crunch Lab 7 humbucker for 7 - string guitars is truly special. It's not a high - pitched screamer, nor does it focus on booming lows. Instead, it shines in delivering nuanced tones at high gain. A joint creation with Dream Theater's John Petrucci, this pickup offers a big, tight sound that's neither muddy nor thin. It strikes a perfect balance between a tight bass response and clear, singing highs. It looks similar to DiMarzio's D Sonic 7, but it's quite different inside. It's louder, with more open lows and mids, and can play chords with great body and presence through a high - gain amp.

Using the DiMarzio Crunch Lab 7 is easy. Just install it in your 7 - string guitar following the standard pickup installation process. When you play, you'll notice its unique sound right away. For the best results, pair it with a high - gain amp. As for maintenance, keep it clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this could affect its performance. Also, be careful when handling it to prevent any physical damage.
