Does anyone make a 7-string multiscale single coil Telecaster?

I suppose it's vaguely tele shape (pretty ugly IMO) but it has no Tele pickups.

I believe they mean the Vasti:

No tele pickups either, but it's at least routed for single coils and I'm sure you can get something made. The body shape might not be for everyone but the vintage one looks fantastic to me and it's on my bucket list.

I thought Balaguer might do it but it looks like they only do humbuckers with multiscale.

I've been thinking of how cool a traditional Tele in a 7-string multiscale/fanned fret format would be, but does that even exist?

Most multiscale guitars come with humbuckers, or H/S/S at best. I'd like a proper Tele style bridge pickup at least. Body shape can be non-Tele, looking for a classic Tele sound more than anything.
Does it have to have the tele bridge style? Or just pickup?

String through body?

I'd say I mainly care that it sounds like a Tele with single coils. How much the traditional Tele bridge matters for that I cannot say.

99% of 7+ string multiscales seem to be dual humbuckers and that last 1% is at best H/S/S superstrat type things.
