Combining the basic Evolution design with Virtual Vintage technology results in a 7-string pickup possessing crunching lows and intense highs. The output voltage of the Evolution 7 is concentrated towards the upper mids and treble, so there's a lot of cutting power, and the low end stays hot and clear. Learn More...

10 out of 10Quality:
had it for a year and not a problem yet
Value:
wont get anything else. i have played many 7-strings and this makes it complete.
Desirability:
doesnt look cheap and has more "expensive" look over cheap plastic pickups.
Sound:
i had just regular stock bridge pickups and i got so much feedback i couldnt take it so i swapped it with a evolution 7 and my guitar from the second it came on, growled low tone and the highs sometimes get so high it feels like i am on a diffrent part of the neck. This pick-up is going in my custom flying-v.
Overall:
This thing F**ken rocks!!!

10 out of 10Feature:
Tell ya what, jam on one with the distortion cranked and you'll feel like a metal god. They're that good, trust me.
Quality:
Four conductor wiring, they really kick it up a notch. Drop out those stock Blaze II's and add some scream to your axe.
Value:
The money's worth it, but during a recession it's tough to justify spending money on a pickup.
Desirability:
Fries your brain with powerful reproduction of the low B, or low A, or like me, Low G.
Sound:
Plenty of bite with a lot of hamonic tones. Great competition for the active EMG's.
Support:
Didn't need any
Overall:
Great sound and variablility.

10 out of 10Feature:
The 4 coil wiring makes this really flexible. I use it on a 5 way switch with another humbucker with coil splitting. There are tones similar to strats and tele's which make my tone choices extremely versatile.
Quality:
It's a magnet, it's black and the pole pieces are shiny.
Value:
I think that this pick-up is a good alternative to an EMG 7 string pick-up. No routing required.I don't know if Seymour Duncan makes a similar pick-up.
Desirability:
It's very goth, but really it was a practical purchase to utilize all of the strings on my guitar without having to use different amp settings for each part of the neck.
Sound:
Prior to installing this, I was constantly having to add extra presence from my pre amp and power amp. The sound of the evo 7 has definition while still managing to stay warm. I use it in the bridge of an RG7620 with a low A string. Chords involving all seven strings(even the really close voicings) come through with clarity ang mix really well with other instruments.
Support:
The website was really helpful about wiring diagrams etc. I haven't had a problem yet.
Overall:
I would buy this again if I had to, but I'm always curious about new developments. Basically I bought this because of Steve Vai. It doesn't make me sound like Vai, and thats why I like it so much. I still sound like me, my pronounciation is just better.
