Seymour Duncan Nazgûl Rails — High Output Humbucker Bridge Pickup, 7 String (11105-96-B-7Str)
The Seymour Duncan Nazgûl Rails 7 String (11105-96-B-7Str) is the 7-string version of the Nazgûl Rails high output passive humbucker bridge pickup — the same Alnico 8 aggression, rail design clarity and 4-conductor versatility as the 6-string version, built to the wider string spacing and extended magnetic field width required for 7-string instruments. The rail format is particularly relevant on 7-string guitars — the low B string's physical placement and the wider string spread make even magnetic field distribution across all seven strings more critical than on a 6-string instrument. Vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California.
Angkor Music — Why the Rail Format Is Especially Relevant on 7-String Guitars
The advantages of the rail design apply on any string count, but they become more significant on a 7-string instrument. The wider string spread of a 7-string guitar means that individual pole pieces at the outer strings are further from the centreline — a geometry that can produce more variation in magnetic field strength across the spread, particularly at the outer strings. The rail's continuous magnetic surface provides even field distribution regardless of the wider spread, ensuring the low B string receives the same consistent magnetic response as the high E. The low B is also the string most susceptible to the muddy, undefined low frequency response that standard high-output pickups can produce on extended range instruments — the rail's tighter, more focused attack character addresses this directly, producing a defined, articulate low B that cuts through a mix rather than adding low frequency wash. For players on Ibanez RG7, Schecter 7-string, ESP/LTD 7-string and similar instruments playing modern metal, djent or progressive metal, the combination of the Nazgûl's Alnico 8 output level with the rail format's clarity is the most direct route to a high-output 7-string bridge tone that remains controlled and articulate. We are an authorised Seymour Duncan dealer and professional installer at Angkor Music — we stock both the 6-string and 7-string Nazgûl Rails and the 7-string Sentient neck companion.
7-String Specific Considerations
The 11105-96-B-7Str is built specifically for 7-string guitars — it is not simply a wider 6-string pickup. Key differences from the 6-string version:
- Extended rail width: The rail spans the full 7-string string spread — all seven strings sit within the even magnetic field
- 7-string routing dimensions: The pickup body dimensions match standard 7-string humbucker routing — it will not fit a 6-string route
- Low B performance: Specifically voiced for the low B string's frequency range — the rail format and Alnico 8 magnet combination produce a defined, articulate low B rather than the undefined low frequency response that some high-output pickups produce on the 7th string
Before ordering, confirm your guitar uses standard 7-string humbucker routing. Players with 6-string guitars should choose the 11105-96-B.
Recommended 7-String Neck Companion
The Seymour Duncan Sentient 7-string is the established neck companion — clear, articulate and musical against the Nazgûl Rails' aggression. We stock the 7-string Sentient at Angkor Music alongside the Nazgûl Rails 7-string.
Who Is the Nazgûl Rails 7 String For?
- 7-string metal players wanting high-output bridge performance with even response across all seven strings
- Djent, progressive metal and modern metal players on Ibanez RG7, Schecter 7-string, ESP/LTD 7-string and similar instruments
- Players who want a defined, articulate low B string rather than the muddy low end that some standard pickups produce on 7-string guitars
- Players building a complete 7-string bridge and neck set — pair with the Seymour Duncan Sentient 7-string
- Players with 6-string guitars should choose the 11105-96-B instead

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 6-string and 7-string Nazgûl Rails?
The 7-string version has an extended rail width to span the 7-string string spread and 7-string humbucker body dimensions for standard 7-string routing. The magnet type, output character, potting and lead wire are identical. The 7-string version will not fit a 6-string route, and the 6-string version will not correctly cover all strings on a 7-string guitar.
Why is the rail format particularly useful on a 7-string guitar?
The wider string spread on a 7-string means individual pole pieces at the outer strings are further from the centreline, which can produce variation in magnetic field strength across the spread. The rail's continuous surface distributes the field evenly regardless of spread width. The low B string also benefits specifically from the rail's tighter, more focused attack character — producing a defined, articulate response on the lowest string rather than the muddy low end that some standard pickups produce.
What neck pickup pairs with the 7-string Nazgûl Rails?
The Seymour Duncan Sentient 7-string is the established neck companion — available at Angkor Music alongside the Nazgûl Rails 7-string.
