Got a friend who plays a seven string PRS SE who needs a bridge pickup for hi gain, I have zero experience with these. Any recommendations??
Thanks!
 
Tons of good options out there. “High gain” is very broad. What style of music is he playing primarily?

My favorites are:

Seymour Duncan Custom 5 (SH-14 7)
Seymour Duncan Distortion (SH-6 7)
DiMarzio Blaze Custom

Not much to go on, but there's really not much difference in shopping for a 7 vs 6 string. Some of the same named pickups will sound about the same more or less as their 6 string counterpart.
Look at the EQ curves, DCResistance and output and go with something that has the power and EQ curve you're looking for.

Perhaps start here with 2 pickup mainstays:

Thanks guys, I know they play metal, but not much beyond that. I appreciate the info

FWIW, I really liked the Seymour Duncan Black Winter in my PRS SE baritone tuned to B.

I much prefer the 6 string version of the Black Winter over the seven string version. They’re quite different sounding. 6 string version is amazing, but I found the seven string version overly harsh and fizzy.
