Why are most 7 strings super strats?

Why are most 7 strings super strats? Super strats are great and all, but why aren't there any commercially available 7 stringers in more radical designs?

Smaller market, really.

That's it.
That's really all there is : a small market.
They go with superstrats because that's the common denominator.

A small market, but almost all the 7 string players are metal heads, so they need to get some more extreme shapes. BC Rich needs to do the Pat Obrien signature, for example.

im a metalhead and aside from the Rhoads V & IronBird, i could care less about extreme shapes. Just cause someone likes metal doesnt mean they like extreme shapes ;p

The superstrat is my favorite, but I love the odd shapes too!

I know, i love super strats shapes too, but i would love to go to a guitar shop and see some 7 string Vs, 7 string LP, 7 string warlocks.

We need more variety of models IMO. But the other good stuff it's that in the world are a lot of very good luthiers, that can make you an exellent guitar.

Well, i think there should be more 7 string models PERIOD. i dont care what they are. But i think wood variety and things like fretboard and pickup options are more important than shape, since they affect the tone more.

Two reasons:
Grunge.
People who like "Vintage Guitars".
Next guitar i get is either gonna be neon colored or it will BECOME neon colored.
