It would work, bit I think you'd be better off with either a Rio Grande Tallboy or Muy Grande humbuckers. Both of which are two single coils in a humbucking configuation.

Totally agree.

However, the JS1000-style control layout gives you that sound in the middle position with the coils tapped. It's a surprisingly versatile layout, easily my favorite all-in-one control setup.

Anyway, my Strat's not going anywhere.

Wow that's great! What's the difference between those two?

The Tallboy has less output and is cleaner. The Muy Grande is louder and thicker.

Also I asked Tim Mills from Bare Knuckles if they do seven string singles and he said "not at the moment", So if you want a BKP single coil you'll have to go the rewind route.

So anybody knows what's going on there? Has USACG started offering 7string necks? Their site is not updated so far.

Not yet.

Hopefully we'll be able to get it all finished before too much longer. We are fairly close.

I'll contact them soon and see what we can do to keep it moving forward.

It's moving slowly. USA Custom Guitars is great but they are small. I know they have CAD renderings for the bodies and necks and are working on the pickup and bridge routes. But I do not have date for when they will actually be for sale.
