Schecter C-7 Pro CB w/ DiMarzio D Activator 7 Pickups
7 String Electric Guitar with Upgraded Pickups
Have you got your eye on an exciting new guitar or bass, but keep thinking to yourself, 'it's pretty sweet, but... what if it could be even sweeter?' We get it. That's why we at Modern HQ put our heads together and came up with the 'Modded By Modern' Guitar Pickup Upgrades program.
Intrigued? We thought you might be. Here's the deal - Purchase any new guitar and a compatible set of pickups in the same transaction from Modern Musician, in-store or online, and we'll install them for you within two business days, FREE OF CHARGE!* As if that's not enough, we'll even install a free set of matching gauge D'Addario XL strings (or Fender Super 250's for Squier guitars) to replace the ones we removed to install the new pickups.
Got your own custom pairing in mind? We can do that! Simply shoot us an email with your pairing ideas so we can confirm compatibility, availability and suitability, and we'll make it happen for you! If you're keen but not sure where to start, check out our ever-evolving Recommended Pairings below to see some of the upgrade options our in-house tech team heartily endorse.
Modded By Modern - The Simple Way to Sharpen Your Axe.
* Terms & Conditions: Both the instrument and the replacement pickups retain their full product warranty after installation. Due to the custom nature of the Modded By Modern program, there are strictly no returns for change of mind on modified products. Offer applies to pickup sets only, not single pickup upgrades. Works will be completed in two business days or less from the time of purchase. Custom pairings are available, if you have your own preferred pairing, please reach out via email prior to purchase so we can verify compatibility, availability, and suitability. Failure to do so prior to purchase voids the aforementioned ‘two business day’ turnaround promise. Offer applies only to basic 'like-for-like' pickup replacements and does not cover any additional routing or work that may be required if purchased pickups are not confirmed with us prior to purchase. All upgrades include a complimentary set of matching gauge D’Addario XL strings (or Fender Super 250 strings for Squier guitars) installed on the guitar upon completion of the pickup installation. Customer will receive their original pickups and any discarded electronics packed safely in the box with their instrument.

DiMarzio DP720BK D Activator 7™ Bridge
Active humbuckers have a distinctive sound: powerful, clean, open-sounding, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. This also fits the description of a great 7-string pickup, if the problems associated with active pickups — sterile sound and limited headroom — could be eliminated. The D Activator 7™ models do just that. The D Activator 7™ Bridge has the same loud yet clean sound as the best active humbuckers, and killer harmonics. The low “B” string is all about attack, not mud. It responds instantly to hard or light picking. In a word: it rocks. No batteries required.
Like the 6-string version, the bridge D Activator 7™ has a very focused attack that hits the amp hard and makes it “feel” more powerful than it actually specs out to be. We also wanted to avoid the limiting effect that can occur with active pickups when they are played hard. Our pickup is passive with a lot of headroom, and it responds quickly and accurately to changes in pick attack. A hard pick attack doesn't cause the signal to flatten out, and picking more softly or rolling the volume control down lets the sound clean up naturally. Like all passive pickups, D Activators™ require controls with a minimum value of 250Kohms. 500K is the standard all around value, and our 1Megohm tone control is best for long cable runs.

DiMarzio DP719BK D Activator 7™ Neck
Active humbuckers have a distinctive sound: powerful, clean, open-sounding, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. This also fits the description of a great 7-string pickup, if the problems associated with active pickups — sterile sound and limited headroom — could be eliminated. The D Activator 7™ models do just that. The Neck model has both power and clarity — the low “B” string stays solid and doesn’t sound like mud with extreme overdrive, and the high strings sing all the way up the neck. And it doesn’t need batteries.
It's tough to get a clear tone from the low “B” string in the neck position without making the unwound strings sound brittle, and even harder with a high-output pickup. The two D Activator 7™ coils are tuned to different frequencies that complement each other and allow the pickup to “speak” clearly, with the power concentrated in the most effective frequency range. Like all passive pickups, D Activators™ require controls with a minimum value of 250Kohms. 500K is the standard all around value, and our 1Megohm tone control is best for long cable runs.
