Had these installed in my baritone ESP 7. It really is like a unicorn for guitar pickups: it just works. Whereas I'd have little personal gripes or preferences when trying pickups, thoughts like "I wish this had a tad more output" or "that's a little boomy" or "that mid spike is a little unpleasant", the M7 is just pure "plug and play". I love this thing.
Yup. M's are insane. I've been pushing these things on people for years haha. Actually, Black Heaven's are amazing too. They sound pretty much the same as the M, but they are a little more forgiving, less percussive, and just a bit easier to play on.
Actually every Lundgren pickup I've tried is basically the best pickup I've ever tried lol. I have M's, Black Heaven's, The One, and BJFE (single coil) sets, and they all rule!
Nice job on the video!
I like the midrange in the M more than the BH personally, but yeah, both are killer for sure.
I just bought these for a multiscale ibanez I have. I can't wait.
Hey, so im really torn which one to get: what to do you mean by they being more forgiving? In what sense? Im not sure if I should get the m6 or black heaven. Im gonna put em in a guitar that I only use for metal: metalcore, thrash, hardcore punk.
Im looking for clarity, aggro distortion etc.
Im aware your comment is 8 months old, I hope this reply finds you :)
@@armorgiraffe I mean that the M series is very dry and very revealing, and if you play badly, it will sound more obvious lol. In one way that's great because it kind of forces you to be a better player, but on the other hand it feels a bit more difficult to play through them. The Black Heaven set still has the great tone, but doesn't feel that way as much, not as dry, and not as brutally honest as the M haha. It's kind of a hard thing to describe tbh, hopefully you can understand what I mean. Personally, I love them both, but my preference goes to the Black Heavens, just by a little bit! Both have a ton of clarity and great, tight distortion.
@@GordOlson ah I think I getcha, I think I will go for the BH's then!
I've been waiting on this vid for along time. This through the granophyre and omega cab are god like brutality
I had this pickup on 2 guitars-I love it, man.
Killer demo my dude!
Killer mixes. I have you M6 and it’s staying right where it is definitely a great PU.
Hearing you play some alluvial was awesome
Love the band and that album those riffs are from. I'm glad someone recognized it.
Threw that alluvial riff in there. Tight
Love your video, definitely the most in depth review of these. Wanted to ask how these compare the SD Jupiter rail pickups? They have a very similar mid range character to my ears
I'd love to own a Jupiter again. I'd say though, the Jupiter is hotter and has a really cutting top end.
Yes!!!!! These ruined so many other pickups for me.... getting 2 more sets this week they're just incredible
I love the M7 In my Schecter Banshee Mach 7 FR. I have the Stephan Carpenter set and Keith Merrow set of Fishmans and the M7 definitely sounds better to me. I love a mid forward kinda tone so these are perfect for me. I wish I had access to the neck pickup.
Man, i wish these were acessible here in south america. Also, Alluvial
Does anyone know what the actual output is for the M7?
My next bridge pickup is going to be a Lundgren m-series. I've already got to try most of the 'modern metal' guitarist pickups. And hopefully this one will be end of my search... lol
I would suggest checking out Tosin Abasi's Dimarzio signature pickup the ionizer 7-string pickup. It's honestly got the best 'chug' for all the passive pickups I have tried.
I’ve had these on my radar for a really long time and pulled the trigger on them. What was your previous go to pickup(s)?
I have a handful of favorites and it really depends on the tuning and guitar. For 7 String I love these, the nazgul/Keith merrow fishmans, and the bkp Ragnarok, I absolutely love the black winter and bkp warpig in my guitars that aren't tuned really low.
@@MetalHeadProductions That's what I feel with the Black Winters too. Great pickup, but you don't wanna go really low. I currently have them on a guitar that I use for C standard. I have EMGs on my 7 string, but would so love to try a Nazgul.
Considering a Schecter that has these factory installed. Might have a tech rewire to do series / parallel instead of coil tap. Less output drop, similar sound.
These pickups are killer and I've loved all of my schecters. Consistently some of the best guitars I've owned.
I’ve had a nazgul in my 7 for a couple years, but I’m itching to try an m7 in it. Have you tried both?
Oh yeah, I've owned a few nazguls, great pickup, but there is something special about the m7
Good day to whoever is reading this. I come seeking guidance. I can’t decide between the M7s and the Black Heaven set. The guitar I’m planning on putting these in is a Schecter Reaper 7 - swamp ash body set in maple neck and an ebony fingerboard. I love how heavy and tight the M7 sounds and I’m looking for that low midrange grunt but I feel like the Black Heavens would be more suitable for the occasional cleans. I read somewhere that the highs on the Black Heavens would be too much for a swamp ash guitar.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
The best of health to you and your loved ones.
The woods on your electric do not matter and will not affect your tone. Guitar pickups work through electromagnetic induction and wood is not magnetic.
Now, the m7 is actually the midrange heavy pickup, and the black heaven is the really tight and aggressive pickup. Personally I lean more towards the m7.
Hi just wondering what is your opinion on m7 set comparing with Nazgûl and sentient set?
Both are great, although I've not owned a full m7 set, just the bridge pickup so I can't say on the neck, but I'm sure it's great. The m7 is hard to explain, it's definitely one of the more unique pickups I've ever used. Lots of midrange, clear and smooth top end, and it just feels both very good to play and feels different from a lot of pickups. As a big fan of the nazgul, I'd go m7 over it.
Do you find them to be bass heavy? This is the first video I’ve watched where they sound “tubby” for lack of a better term. I’ve got them in my upcoming aristides build and can’t wait to try em!
I have them in drop A going directly into an amp. Wouldn't exactly call this tone tubby, but it's not super tight either. For that, you'll need a boost, which is true of just about any passive pickup tuned this low.
@@MetalHeadProductions Yup, I typically use a boost when tuned that low as well. What amp were you plugged into?
@@garethsmith300 the high gain tones are all on my Granophyre
@@MetalHeadProductions killer setup man and I enjoy all the effort you put into your channel 🤘!! Thanks for the responses.
@@garethsmith300 absolutely, and thank you, much appreciated
Just got a Schecter Mach 7 with one of these honestly can’t stand it been playing various Fishmans for a long time even A/B’d with another axe same amp setting on my Kemper and it was a night and day difference favoring the Fishmans. Just personal preference and had high hopes but have a Fluence on the way from Amazon will be selling this M7 if someone is looking for one hit us up. Great video btw.
It's all good, I love Fishmans too and have the merrows set in my other 7.
M6 vs Black Heaven? Does the BH have more clarity?
I prefer the m series personally, while the black heaven is tighter and more cutting on the top end, the m series just does it for me. Full while not being muddy, clear top end without harshness, lots of midrange push too
How close are the m6 to this? You know how some pickups named the same vary widely from 6 to 7 (*cough* im looking at you Dactivator).
There are always slight differences because of the larger magnets and amount of winding, but this pickup stays very consistent from the M6 and m7
What drum software are you using here? Sounds good
Superior drummer 3.
@@MetalHeadProductions I use the same. What pack and snare is that?
@@Brandon-RZ that's all a pearl masterworks kit but with a Ludwig snare from an older ezdrummer expansion. I'm also parallel compressing the whole kit with a slate digital FG Stressor.
I'd like hear one live.👏
Meshuggah uses them, so you’ll hear it if you see them live.
My understanding of pickups is that it’s just really a placebo effect. There’s only so many Magnets and wire combinations you can do. It’s just wire wrapped around a magnet. But hey I can be wrong. I’m still a fan of Dimarzio Hot rails.
No really. Now, the biggest tone factors are the amp and speakers, for sure, however, how the guitar hits your effects and amps, how it saturates, how it feels to play, all make a difference for sure.
Nice demo! Do you think hair on strings affects sustain?
Idk, maybe
How do they compare to the Alpha and Omega 7 string pickups. When you were describing them they sounded similar. It made me wonder how similar they are. Great video as always man🤘
I haven't owned a pair of those, and I've only tried them in a 6 string. I remember them being very hot and having a lot of top end.
@@MetalHeadProductions I dont have alot of experience with other 7 string pickups. That being said with the Alpha and Omega pickups in my PRS when I play a power chord in drop A it sounds a little muddy. But the other 6 strings sound different. The clarity is great and high gain sounds great until I use the 7th string.
@@fateslegion8061 that is going to come down to the tuning too since the 7 is tuned lower most likely. I prefer using overdrives usually with 7 String guitars to tighten them up.
You should make a discord server so people that like all of this stuff can join in and talk about it :)
I've thought about it. Not sure who'd I'd get to mod it though
@@MetalHeadProductions I know you don't know me but i know a bit about the technical side so i could atleast help you set it up if you want
please compare these to the black heavens
Don't have a black heaven ATM but I can say this is fuller and smoother and the black heaven is tighter and more aggressive in the upper mids.
@@MetalHeadProductions which one would you recommend for non metal, like is either of them a versatile jack of all trades?
@@bbilman056 m7 for sure
I wouldn't necessarily call M-series pickups "high-output". Lundgren calls them that, but English isn't exactly their first language, and even it if was, is it wise to trust anyone's marketing department? They're purposeful, but have lower output than something like a Duncan Full Shred, which itself is only considered "medium-output".
This is for a good reason. The higher your output, the more high end detail, punch and focus you lose. Mediums and lows tend to be a whole lot more articulate. More windings = more capacitance. More capacitance = more mud. What makes these pickups special isn't their output. It's their tight and focused response. They lack versatility, but they do what they do very well.
So couple of things, they are decently hot. I think you might be looking at resistance which doesn't always correspond to output. They're decently hot. Not screaming hot, but decently hot.
The hotter a passive pickup, the more winds of copper and the stronger the magnet, which actually means you're losing high end and getting more midrange and low-end. This is in a sweet spot of lots of midrange, with enough top end to be clear but not so much that it gets harsh. You'll find lower output and things like PAF style pickups are a lot brighter and have less low-end than higher output pickups.
@@MetalHeadProductions Like I said, they're purposeful, but not technically high-output. More on the medium side. Not calling them wimpy or anything. It's more than enough.
@@MFKR696 see I disagree though, the output is comparable to some of my other higher output pickups, nazgul, black winter and such. Its definitely not medium output by any stretch
@@MetalHeadProductions You're free to disagree.
@@MFKR696 that's cool, man, no worries
i love em its these or fishmans all i run
