[krsp]

I oreded an Agile multiscale that comes with an active Cepheus and I cant wait to just find out myself - anyone have input on the sound of these things. I'm hoping they are alright...

It is a 7 string though, so the pickup will be for 8 strings, EMG and SD make replacement ones but I don't know of any others. I am familiar with EMG 808 and SD Blackouts (for 6 strings anyway), so that is what I want "versus" info on. Also, if they do indeed end up sucking, do they have those quick connect receptacles on the back? Any info anyone has on these pickups would be a great help!

If it's a 7 string Pendulum, the 808s/808Xs and Blackout 8s will be a direct drop-in. There are lots of comparison videos of EMGs and Blackouts on Youtube.

Aside from that, your options are (to my knowledge) nordstrand pickups > welcome or Dan at Oni Guitars as far as getting customs made. I'm not sure about Oni, but I've heard Nordstrom's pricing is very reasonable for what you get.

I hadn't seen the active Cepheus being offered before this round. If that's true, I wouldn't hold my breath on *anyone* having tried them yet....

I don't have any experience with him, but Guitar Logistics offers a multiscale option for pickups on his website. His name is RestorationAD on here.
