| The GL-7 string direct mount guitar pickup | ![]() |

Information
The passive GL-7 DM (Guitar Large) Q-tuner for 7 string guitar, combines the power of high-performance neodymium magnets with greater efficiency "free standing" air coils.
The most noticable sonic feature of the GL-7 is the extremely linear frequency response. Optimized winding geometry to give ideal value/dcr ratios; hence, maximum humbucking action.
Now, coil modifications are also possible! In order to meet the growing interest in a neodymium bridge Q-tuner for metal/rock guitar, all GL's can be 'beefed-up' to Super High Z ratios. Super High Z Q-tuners can be typified as having an amazingly aggressive but yet well defined overdrive sound.
Available in Super High Z (bridge), High Z (bridge, neck) and Medium Z (neck) versions and they come protected with transparent covers. Check out the gallery for pictures.
Order & customize your Q-tuner(s)
| The shop section of Q-tuner.com will remain closed for a while. If everything proceeds according to plan, we'll reopen next year. In all probability, the current range of products will be replaced by the second generation Q-tuner. The second generation Q-tuner represents a true technical break-through for being the first all passive "smart" pickup. A patent application including a robust claim tree will be filed within a measurable time. |
Because the Q-tuner is partly handmade, the average time between order and delivery is currently about 4 weeks. We charge 22 USD for the Shipping, Handling & Insurance each order. We ship wordwide. We offer all our customers a 30-day money back guarantee. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
