yeah, ss frets are a must have for me.
so basically:
1. non-superstrat body (let's say a modern tele like the FR) out of alder/basswood
2. 26.5" scale, 7 strings
3. road flare red/cosmic purple
4. maple fretboard/neck with jumbo ss frets and black dot inlays (gotta keep the rg550 theme)
5. hipshot hardware/tuners/hardtail bridge
basically this as a 7 string:

Aww man, I'm selling TWO OF MINE that are exactly like this because of not having stainless steel frets. Such a major factor for me. I would be sooooooo down for a run like this!!!

Realistically, this could never happen. Not enough interest, and the interest we have could never settle on specs we all agree on. This is SSO, no one agrees with each other on coming up with guitar specs.

That was definitely a perfect storm situation.

You had a popular, longstanding and motivated forum member, who happened to be a great designer too, rally the troops. Then Agile, was a newer builder who had built up tons of goodwill and was looking to expand. Finally the product was servicing a significant gap in the market.

There are just so many options out there, at all price points, that something like this just isn't going to happen again anytime soon.
