More 7/8th body styles, please!

Upper fret access needs to be paramount. The current 7/8 S comes up short. A 7/8 Dinky is in order. Interestingly Jackson used to make a Gibson scale super strat they called Fusion that similarly had suboptimal upper fret access. You can find pics. They tried to mediate it with a bevel--which maybe Warmoth could one day add as a body contour option on some models--but it's still not as good as having a full cut like on a Soloist or Dinky (or RG or Horizon etc).

Or maybe just shift the bridge and pickup routing on current bodies?
 
There’s an MIJ Junior collection Fender Jazzmaster that is basically a 7/8. I have the Strat version and it’s the exact dimensions as my Warmoth 7/8. They are hard to find though, it would be nice if Warmoth offered one.
