Well, I found the only pic I have of my original 7 string. Trans purple finish on alder with a maple cap, maple neck with rosewood board, hand wound pups and custom bridge.Sorry for the shitty picture quality, it's all I've got.

Still around.
You know, I'm gradually cooling on the idea of a true seven string strat... Rather, I'd like something with strat-like specs, but more shred-oriented. An alder body, H-H with a push-pull coil tap and a three way, maple 22-fret (or 24 fret if I had to) neck and fretboard, and if I can' get a Wilkinson 7-string trem, then at least a Floyd of sorts.

my strat, but I'd miss having humbuckers, too.D

What about stacked humbuckers ?

That's not a Strat foo!!
Actually this project, when completed, can get you close to that.

So could an alder replacement body and two push/pull pots for his UV
On a side note that I don't think I posted publicly, we're working on getting Rio Grande to make tele pups for Scott's bridge

Your point? 
I've already got one strat. It kicks ass. I'd rather have a second guitar as a seven that, while it can cop the Strat vibe, it also doesn't JUST have to be a strat. My strat sounds amazing, but even then I've spent a lot of time modding it to be something other than a pure strat - the Wilkinson and a graphite nut means it performs like a Floyd, the Lace Sensors are dead quiet like humbuckers, etc.

God damn it Drew!! Unless a Strat has true single coil pickups and a trem that refuses to stay in tune and is at least 45 years old it's not a Strat!! Don't you ever go on the internets?

False. It is not a Strat without a single in the neck and middle. Position 2 and 4 FTW.
You'll notice in the pic above where mine is set!

SSH is the greatest pickup config ever.
