I've read all the threads I could find by searching, but my questions haven't really been answered, so here we go...
I'm trying to pick between the SD7, TZ7, and DS7 for a guitar with an alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. It will most likely be tuned to standard tuning with the low string tuned to A. I play heavy metal and progressive heavy metal. I love the 6-string Tone Zone and SD, and I'm pretty fond of the D-sonic as well. I'm wondering how the 7-string versions of these pickups compare to each other and the six string versions. Ideally I'd be putting a 6-string Tone Zone in this guitar, but alas, it has seven strings. If it makes a difference, I prefer the six string D-sonic with the bar facing the neck.
Here are some examples of the tone I like (these are played using a six string Tone Zone).
