The Pickup Place / Re: MORE color options for DiMarzio 7-string models

Hello and welcome!! Sorry it took forever for you to get your registration e-mail. It turned out that our e-mails got rejected or filtered as spam by some service providers. Our server is hosted on a network that happened to have some other servers that were compromised and sending spam. It's like one or two neighbours bringing down the whole neighbourhood. Thankfully I found a solution to get around this problem and I'm happy to have you here!

The demand for 7 string models have always lagged behind their 6 string counterparts so funky colours are always a bit of a hard sell and tend to sit on shelves for a very long time. It's been a while since I last checked but weren't custom bobbin combinations available as a custom order through DiMarzio directly?

Hey hey, thanks for having me! No stress, glad I could finally get in and on here!

But you would think that the 7-string market is open, old and expansive enough now that they could start offering more color options... I know DiMarzio is currently offering the most color options outside of Bareknuckle at the moment, but some of us really don't wanna spend $300+ on a set of pickups that you haven't played or physically heard in-person and can't return should you not like them...

But I believe you are right in that we can finally get color combinations from available stock colors. One person on one of the Ibanez/Universe groups on FB was able to get a set of green & yellow Blaze HB's for his Premium UV70... so at least we can finally have that option!!!

The Pickup Place / MORE color options for DiMarzio 7-string models

Hey all, Thank you for finally having me first off, it took forever to get the confirmation email...

But I am curious as to what is DiMarzio's deal with why they don't do more color options for the 7-string models... and right off the bay, the colors that come to mind are pink, the green & yellow (like on the Ibanez UV777GR), and the chrome bobbins like on the UV77SVR (Silver, from the 3 Passion and Warfare anniversary models a few years ago...)...

I've since found out that apparently you can & someone has ordered the green & yellow combo for a UV70 Premium Universe, but that "there hasn't been enough of a demand for the chrome bobbin 7-string models" per thier tech via an email... And I'm sure that pink would still be a hard NO if inquired...

So does anybody else want DiMarzio to start making and offering more of the 7-string models in these colors and actually offer them on thier website like they do the 6-string counterparts???
