The ESP E-II Arrow 7 I grabbed last month came with EMG 57-7 and 66-7 pups. They sound good. I like EMGs.
Anyone Keep Going Back To EMG?

Emg 57-7 is a really nice pickup. Always makes me smile.

My 57-7 66-7 combo is very noisy. Had the same issue with Loomis Blackouts. Both sets have the exposed poles and are apparently super noisy with EMI in my apartment.
I'm over them and ready to get something that doesn't screech constantly. Even with a gate, there's static and an overtone audible. This doesn't happen with any other pickups. Just the 57/66 set and Loomis Blackouts. I've been putting up with it for a year, but I'm ready to swap them out. Never had an issue with nose from any other pickups.
What's your favorite 7 string EMGs in the soap bar housing other than the 57/66 set?
