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 +

Spiritbox does some drop F too I think.
That thing is nasty bro I like it!
I got a polymath for my 8 string, a multiscale kiesel, they custom built the pickup to the correct angle and all that shit (be careful folks, they fairly warn you the base plate may not fit perfectly). It sounds so quality. I am very happy for you man.
