	Well yes and no! If you mean the pickups to be 6 or 7 small round 
objects on what seem to be black rectangular objects placed vertically on
the body of the guitar, then there should be only 6 and that would mean a 
six string guitar. (If there are 7, and I doubt it, then that would mean a 
7 string, yes they do exist but are uncommon.) 
	Here are some pickup types reply to which is most likely:-

	For a bass guitar the same applies, but instead of six magnets (round
bits) there are four and size to match. (Usually about the same size only 
because the magnets (round bits) are usually bigger)

	To clear this question reply as to:
1> Type of pickup.
2> How many magnets (if any are visible).
3> Number of pickups (if possible)
4> Also Who is holding/playing the guitar?

	I assume the "pickups" you talk about are the magnets as described 
above. I don't think there would be 6 or 7 pickups on the guitar!
