It would work, bit I think you'd be better off with either a Rio Grande Tallboy or Muy Grande humbuckers. Both of which are two single coils in a humbucking configuation.

False. It is not a Strat without a single in the neck and middle. Position 2 and 4 FTW.
Totally agree.
However, the JS1000-style control layout gives you that sound in the middle position with the coils tapped. It's a surprisingly versatile layout, easily my favorite all-in-one control setup.
Anyway, my Strat's not going anywhere.
The Tallboy has less output and is cleaner. The Muy Grande is louder and thicker.
Also I asked Tim Mills from Bare Knuckles if they do seven string singles and he said "not at the moment", So if you want a BKP single coil you'll have to go the rewind route.
FTW 7 string TELE'S \M/
BUMP! Any progress?
It's moving slowly. USA Custom Guitars is great but they are small. I know they have CAD renderings for the bodies and necks and are working on the pickup and bridge routes. But I do not have date for when they will actually be for sale.
I'd be curious what the pricing is going to look like on these as well. Any idea how much of an upcharge they're planning from their 'usual' parts for these?
Cool, thanks Eric

Wow, this is still alive? 
Good god i'm happy i haven't wait for this to come to life before going custom.
It's been what, almost a year now since the idea came out and Eric first contacted USACG? I know these things take time and all... But i just can't understand it takes that much time. Creating CAD rendering and all that jazz can't be that long, can it? No matter the size of the shop, people have to understand the 7-strings guitar market and that there's many people ready to buy and make them companies get their investment back. Maybe i just don't have a clue...
Anyway, I still hope this project will see the light! Keep it up Eric.

This sounds like a great idea !!!
First I want to introduce myself cause I am new here ,I am Flick & run the MyLesPaul forum & have dabbled in guitar building & design research including relicing & aging parts. If someone can please bring me up to speed on what happening here I believe I maybe able to lend a hand or maybe able to provide some help . I have a higher end 7 string Les Paul being built as well. I do have connections to a few custom pickup winders whom some you will hear quite a bit about in the next month due to a upcoming magazine issue & announcement . Also am good friends with some custom builders & K-T-S titanium in Japan ( whom make some killer titanium saddles & truss rods & such )
