drezdin has a spectacular aura about
MotorCity Pickups

Looks like we have another 7 string friendly custom pickup maker.

I've seen people posting about his pickups so I checked out his page

MySpace.com - motorcitypickups - 33 - Male - CANTON, Michigan - www.myspace.com/motorcitypickups

And noticed this --
*7 STRING* All of our Humbuckers and Single Coils can be converted into Fully Calibrated 7 string configurations! Just let us know!

I sent him an email to ask about the 7 string pickups and he sent a nice reply. He said he could make any model single coil or humbucker right away. I had asked about P90's and he said he would be able to do 7 string P90's and 7 string rail pickups, but for now would have to be Forbon custruction.
He also mentioned that he was working on stamping a metal cover for 7 string pickups.

Looks like he has a lot of cool models and is really interested in working with us 7 string dudes.
The price is more than production pickups of course, but his price seems pretty good compared to some other custom pu makers.

I hope to try some in the future and maybe get a set of P90s

They had a website up briefly last year and it looked interesting, to say the least - like a US Bareknuckle in a lot of ways.
