Now this is only for the EMG-sized version though, right? Are the regular-sized coming at a later date?

Good question, are they the regular sized ones or EMG sized?

Awesome! I can't wait to get a pair for my 7. I hope they don't end up delaying the release of the regular sized ones.

If im not mistaken from what I have heard said, the only difference between the two is the casing, so there shouldn't be a massive delay if any (or I wouldn't understand from a marketing aspect why there would be).

The standard cover had to be made from scratch. So you have to design it, have a mold made, then make the covers. The 707 cover is a standard bass pickup size, which we already have. So yes, there will be a delay in the standard size. The only way to minimize the delay would be to purposely apply a false delay the 707 size for a coinciding launch. My feeling is that if we can build something we should ge it out there ASAP. Why make the 707 guys wait, right?

Incidentally, I want to get your opinion on something: In designing the regular sized 7-string cover it's a VERY tight fit inside that cover. It's a lot like taking a standard humbucker and putting a chrome cover on it, which adds some thickness. So if you have a guitar with a really tight route, or there's globules of paint built up inside the route, you may have to Dremel some of the excess paint away. I tried a prototype cover in my Schecter and it fits fine, but it's tight. The paint inside my pickup cavity is pretty thin, and so I started to think what about those that have paint drips and sags in the cavities? They could be tighter. Fortunately that's not a routing issue. A little sandpaper or the Dremel with a sanding drum will clean that up right quick.

Eh, maybe I'm worrying about nothing, but I care about you guys and don't want anyone feeling disenfranchised if they have to sand paint out of their pickup cavity. The fact is, either we accept a "tight" standard 7-string, or no standard 7-string at all. Still, I wanted to get your feedback on it though...
