I wanna see a JazzMaster or Jaguar shape body guitar in a 7 string, but with no pickgaurd, no arm contour, a bolt on neck, 24 frets, no inlays, ebony or richlite board, heavy as f maple body, 3 piece maple neck, custom control layout with contorl out of the way!, LoPro edge or FLoyd, or even a Khaler, and yes, EMG's . A totally against the grain guitar. ESP got really close I've seen a couple times. That body shape just makes sense though.

Jacksons Standard USA Series. All of them with a 7 string option. I know there are pro and x series 7 string models of basically all of their models but the USA series needs some standard non sig 7 strings.

This. It's a no brainer really, especially considering the neck profiles, radiui and number of frets are all the same. They could make bulk completed necks and just made the bodies as the orders come in.

I wish there were straight up more 7 string acoustics. I'd love to own a 7 string Martin, Taylor, Gibson etc. acoustic. They're such great writing tools its a damn shame.

Would be great to see them bring them back but made in Japan model/spec

I really like my Charvel DK24 and would buy a 7 string version of it in an instant. (I know the Angel Vivaldi signature exists but it's not quite my aesthetic).v

I think I saw that Ibanez were testing the waters with a 7 string AZ and I'm into it.

It's weirdly hard to find a 7 string double cutaway that doesn't have a distinctive "metal" aesthetic to it. I want a 7 that wouldn't look out of place in the fusion/soul bands I usually play in.

A Telecaster with a Gotoh 510-7 wiggle stick equipped with single coils, with a 12” radius or higher. Not your typical shredder, but it would own as a recording guitar.

Be really nice to see a mainline Gibson Les Paul and/or SG 7-String. I know they exist but you'll never actually find one for sale.

I'd also LOVE a 7 String BC Rich Eagle, but they don't even make the 6 String Version anymore so the chances of that are pretty slim.

Also, I know it's been said already, but a PRS other than the Mark Holcomb SE model would be pretty cool too.
