Active pickups
Active EMG pickups provide the instrument with a much higher output signal, which better copes with both the different input impedance of the guitar amplifier and practically any cable length. The signal is much less susceptible to cable-induced interference, such as hum, etc., and is also significantly more tolerant of, for example, guitar transmitters, which affect its sound significantly less than passive pickups. Another bonus is the extended sustain, thanks to the fact that the magnetic field of the pickup does not limit the oscillation of the strings as with passive pickups, mainly due to the higher sensitivity itself. The better ability to wake up the tube amplifier with a higher output signal and the resulting easier achievement of the desired distortion level is also quite obvious.

EMG 707 TW
The active EMG 707 TW pickup is actually two completely different pickups in one. With most previous passive pickups, the seven-string instruments of the time sounded muddy and dull on the "B" string, especially if you wanted to play a natural or artificial flageolet. The arrival of the EMG 707 in 2001 solved these problems and brought the most specific and full sound that a seven-string guitar can ever offer.
The magnetic alloy AlNiCo V in combination with wide-slotted coils adds density to the low "B" string while strengthening the overall sound. Whether you're playing wide and ringing jazz chords in the style of "Opeth" or muted and chopped "death" riffs, all played notes and flageolets are concrete and clearly articulated, even if you use a lot of "killer" amplifier settings.

The "TW" variant takes the sound of the successful 707 to the next level. Its dense and energetic sound designed for maximum distortion is complemented by the "Single Coil" mode, which adds a full, clean tone with a lot of punch to the pickup. The pickup also has two independent internal preamps, ideally suited to the needs of both types of sound, thanks to which its output is slightly higher than previous EMG models. It is easy to switch between the two modes with the Push / Pull potentiometer. The pickup can be used in both the neck and bridge positions. Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer), Christopher Bradley (Beneath The Massacre) create their sound with this pickup, for example.

Set Neck
Instruments with a new set neck construction provide the musician with comfortable access to the highest positions of the fingerboard, which brings a playing feeling comparable to instruments equipped with a through neck. At the same time, they maintain a pleasant and warm sound, the origin of which is the contact of different types of wood on the bridge between the neck and the body, as we are used to in the case of instruments with a classic set neck. connection.

Baritone scale
The scale extended to 673 mm allows you to easily tune the instrument up to several tones. Even with very low tuning, there are no problems with loose strings and it is not necessary to use extremely strong sets. This makes the game more comfortable and the player can more comfortably alternate between accompanying and solo playing techniques. The dense sound with a long sustain finds application in Hardcore, Nu-Metal and other hard music styles.
Tonepros bridge and graduated string attachment through the body.

A simple innovation compared to the standard Tune-o-matic type is the firm fixation of the bridge and tailpiece to the fastening elements using two miniature screws. The advantage is an extended sustain, more accurate tuning and more comfortable playing. All this thanks to the better stability of the entire system. The graduated attachment and stretching of the strings through the body equalizes the tension of the individual strings, which is especially beneficial for various alternative "dropped" tunings. At the same time, this solution emphasizes the articulation of individual notes, improves playing feel and extends sustain.

Schecter Locking locking tuning machines
Prestigious models are equipped with high-quality Schecter Locking locking mechanics, which reduces the need to "bend and wrap" the string around the guide pin to the necessary minimum. Thanks to this, tuning stability is significantly increased even with more vigorous bending techniques and when using tremolo, and the service life of the strings is also extended, especially with regard to their cracking.
