I know that the 7-string stuff is more of a niche thing for Warmoth compared to the Strat and Tele items (and thus probably the reason why I figure that not TOO much would be done for 7-string guitars), but I've been really wanting to build myself a custom 7-string guitar for a while, and it kinda-sorta pains me to see that Warmoth doesn't really have many ready-to-build options.
I mean... I'd certainly be interested in buying myself a 7-string body blank to carve my own body. I'd also love a right hand reverse 7-string Paddle neck to carve an "Ibanez"-style or possibly even my own style of headstock. I like the RHRev look a lot more on sevens than the standard right hand orientation. Heck, there's not even a left-hand orientation for the Paddle either! I mean, the lefties might be luckier considering they could possibly just order the right hand orientation neck without a nut and just slap on it a lefty nut to have their own reverse headstock thing... But gah.
And I don't wanna do the custom design thing either, because that costs a heck of a lot more than what I want to spend. So I kinda compiled a very short list of options that I'd like to see in the future, should the folks at Warmoth be interested:
-7 String Paddle in all orientations (Right Hand, Left Hand, and Right Hand Reverse)
-7 String Body Blank in both RH and LH orientations (For those who want something other than the standard 7 string bodies that Warmoth produces, but don't want to carve their own including the special neck pocket)
-An old-school vintage Corvette-style Gretsch 4x2 headstock (unrelated to the 7-string stuff, but it would be neat to have in the standard two-on-top four-on-bottom layout on some other guitar body)
