Pickups: tight bridge authority + expressive neck clarity

The Skull 5 is built around a high-contrast pairing: a bridge humbucker that stays tight and punchy for modern rhythm, and a neck single coil that stays clear, dynamic, and expressive. With push/pull coil taps, you unlock extra voices for cleans and layered parts.

Nunchucker A8 — Bridge Humbucker
Fast attack • Tight lows • Mix-forward mids

Voiced for definition under gain — essential on a 7-string where low notes can blur.

  • Controlled low end: keeps the low strings punchy and separated.
  • Clear pick response: fast tracking for tight rhythm and syncopation.
  • Mids that cut: holds its place in a dense band mix.
  • Lead-ready: harmonics pop and single-note lines stay articulate.
Best for

Modern metal/prog, hard rock, tight rhythm work, low-tuned clarity, and aggressive riffing.

What you’ll hear

Tight lows, bold mids, and a focused bridge voice that stays defined as gain increases.

Old School+ — Neck A2 Single Coil
Clear cleans • Dynamic feel • Sweet top end

A neck voice tuned for clarity and expression — open chords, articulate runs, and responsive lead phrasing.

  • Articulate cleans: strong note separation for chords and layered parts.
  • Expressive dynamics: responds naturally to pick attack and volume changes.
  • A2 sweetness: smooth highs that avoid ice-pick brightness.
  • Perfect contrast: switching from bridge feels like a real change in character.
Best for

Cleans, expressive neck leads, bluesy phrasing, ambient textures, and articulate chord passages.

What you’ll hear

Clear, dynamic neck tone with sweet highs and a musical mid character that avoids mud.

Why it works: dark tonewoods bring depth and focus, and this pickup pairing turns that into tight rhythm authority on the bridge and expressive clarity on the neck — so the Skull 5 can cover heavy and clean without compromise.
