Description

The Schecter 6257 Apocalypse-VII is a seven-string bridge pickup. It uses a tri-field magnet arrangement: Alnico V direct-coupled construction combined with ceramic 8 flanking magnets on each side. The result is a bridge pickup wound to 16.4k ohms output. Four-conductor wiring gives you full split-coil capability — you can run it humbucker or split it to single-coil through your switching.

Two things decide whether this fits your guitar. First, string count: this is a seven-string pickup and it is not interchangeable with a six-string or eight-string route. Second, spacing: this pickup is specced at 61mm universal spacing, which suits bridge position on a tremolo-equipped seven-string — a neck-spaced pickup dropped into a bridge route puts the outer strings off the pole pieces. Also check your mounting situation before ordering. A direct-mount body routes the pickup straight to wood; a ring-mount body uses a pickup surround. The hardware each requires is different, and neither adapts cleanly to the other without modification.

The 14 high-carbon steel socket-set pole pieces are individually adjustable. The baseplate is black industrial-coated nickel/silver. Bobbins are translucent smoke black. The 4-conductor harness terminates loose — you solder it to your own switching.

If you are not certain this is the right part for your guitar, send us the make, model and year and we will confirm it fits before you commit.
