I talked to someone at DiMarzio this morning, told him what the issue was, and he said that all their 7-string bridge pickups were spaced for trems.
I should be good to go when the pickup arrives.
Funnily enough, the 1527 through the Helios is very much the Vai “Passion & Warfare”/Whitesnake era tone. Über modded Marshall tone. Definitely not a modern sounding amp.(not a bad thing btw…)
I realized after 18 months, that I did need a 7-string in the toolbox. I lucked out, and found an Ibanez RG1527m for sale, locally.(I was shocked at the almost “new” condition it was in for being a 2009. No scratches/chips or wear, and no corrosion!)
Since I’d previously owned a small collection...

Yes, and no. I'm a little conflicted about selling it. But, it just wasn't
getting used the way it should. The guy that bought it was super stoked.

Not surprising.
