DIMARZIO 7 STRING SINGLE COILS, YOU WANT!? (Petition)

[reguv760]

... so I read a thread in ss.org about Necrophagist's recent Xiphos7; a 27 fretter with a D-Activator7 and a custom Dimarzio single coil 7 neck to go with it (D-Activator SC7????). If that turns out to be a commercial model (the pup or the guitar), definitely count my vote in for the petition as the Blaze middle is not hot enough for screaming leads in the neck.

I have Lindy Fralin's in my Strat 7 and they are great.

i'd love to have a

single size,
hum-canceling,
for neck position.

A 7-string version of the FS-1 would be... WOW!

I would definitely check out any new 7 string singles dimarzio could offer. That strat looks pretty cool... do you have any sound bytes? Blaze single is one pickup i love to death...

And the answer from dimarzio is....no

Interesting...

Let me ask you guys this: Do you care about the string spacing? Dimarzio's string spacing on their Blaze singles is obviously the same as their humbuckers, because all they do is use a humbucker bobbin. Their 7-string bobbin is also F-spaced. A Strat single coil has a different spacing than a humbucker, and there are different Strat spacings. The vintage USA one is wider than the Asian ones.

Here is the reason I ask: When the Custom Shop makes a 7-string single coil that follows the exact dimensions of a Strat pickup (grown by one string) then it can be too large for a lot of the guitars that are out there. Some people have needed to dremel a little. If we used the same pickup cover that they use on all the existing Asian singles but fabricated our own bobbin/flatwork, etc. we could build a true single coil, including ground magnets, lacquered bobbin, etc.
