A 7-string tele would be sweet. The nicest obviously tele-inspired guitars I've yet seen would have to be the ospreys, here

One thing does confuse me though, they explicitly say on their site that they cut pickguards, so why do you need to source them?![]()
USACG is a small company, I think it's like eight employees. They do pickguards but onoy like once a month and in fairly small batches. They apparently refer a lot of their pickguard buisness out to other companies just to speed customers' orders and lessen their work load slightly. Rob wasn't too sure they could squeeze in the extra load or that people would want to wait.
yes, Rio Grandes are the only non-custom option, now that Anderson doesn't make their 7-string pickups anymore, and they sound great. Duncan Custom Shop will make 7-string strat single-coils and 7-string Tele bridge and neck pickups.
Honestly, if they're going to use any existing pickup for a route template, I'd vote for the Blaze single for the simple fact that given the number of UV's on the market any maker who wanted to get into the seven string singlecoil market who made a pickup that WASN'T compatable with the Universe would be crazy.
The pickup routing is up to the end user. So if you want a SSS or a SSH it's all good.
The downside wth using the Blazes as the template is this, who's actually going to use on their guitar? I have a feeling most people are going to go the RioGrande/BKP/Duncan Custom Shop route.
