Found a 7 string P90 at last
Last night I was looking a the Swineshead site and decided to throw them an email to see if they were planning on doing a 7 string version of their SH90 (a humbucker sized P90). This is the reply I got:

Planning to get a SH97 in glow-in-the-dark for the neck of my S7320 tomorrow, will report back on how it sounds and hopefully get a couple of clips as well. |

Pete Biltoft at Vintage Vibe Guitars has been making custom 7-string P-90s for a while. I think Jim Soloway got some of the first ones.

When they first came out, i asked Frank about the possibility of a 7-string Custom Shop version, and he said he'd love to do it, but with the custom bobbins and blades (which Duncan currently doesn't have in 7-string size) it might be costly because of the amount of custom fabrication it would take (or at the very least, cutting two six-string ones and joining them together into the wider format).

the lower price was part of the attraction of the Lollars for me--they were surprisingly reasonable when i checked a few years back, well under $90 US per pickup. i bet they'd sound great in a 7-string Tele!

I believe that ohio_eric has a set of P90s. From whom he got them escapes me, however.

IIRC Eric's are from Vintage Vibe. I had a set of custom wound humbucker-sized six string P90s from VV. Pete is awesome to deal with and does great work.
