Merry Christmas. What other non-custom made7-string single coil pickups except Rio Grande and dodgy DiMarzio Blaze would you recommend?

Tim from BK will only do rewinds of existing 7 string single coils because he doesn't have the housing or something, if I'm not mistaken. If you can find an old Blaze single or something he'll fix it up for you though.

Most people hate the Blaze single coil. It just sounds nothing like a good single coil.

I think it was designed to "cool down" the sound of a Blaze neck or bridge when mixed with it. It really doesn't sound like much on it's own. I'd really like to hear one in the neck position, though...:idea:

Huh... You know that could be an easy swap. It wouldn't be pretty, but I could make my RG7321 a HS guitar..

Hmmm when I emailed him about them I was told their single coils are available as sevens, with nothing about them needing to be rewinds :scratch:

When did he tell you this?
