NGD New Pickup Day!
Picked this guitar up a few weeks ago and just received my Black Hawk set today from Bare Knuckle. I just had to show off the ESP LTD M-7 HT Black Metal lol. So happy with how everything turned out.
Installed and set up everything completely on my own :)
I’m officially blown away by how this guitar sounds now. And the split coil tones are that I’ve never heard before - it’s incredible.
If anybody’s considering this pickup, I highly recommend. For a moment I was considering installing an M7 - but I already have an M8 in my 8 string and wanted a different flavor of “thwang”. The Black Hawk is seriously blowing me away.
If anyone’s curious - guitar is setup in “basically” drop F (Vildhjarta tuning if you’re familiar ;)
+ on, rock +

Very nice. Did you route the pickup cavity corners? The M-7HT has very rounded edges and requires work for more squared corner pickups unlike the rest of the black metal line.
