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???

I didn't have any problem finding a green set a couple of years ago. I have seen a red set and blue set for sale used on Ebay fairly recently. I'd say the majority of 7 and 8 string players are playing metal on black guitars, and don't want different colors. There aren't many 7 or 8 string guitars in colors other than black either. I wish Ibanez would offer the RG752 with a hardtail in some brighter colors. I bought one of the yellow ones with a trem a couple of years ago, but there was something about that trem on a 7 string I did not like, so I sold it.

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!!!

DiMarzio should just make pickups with black or white bobbins and just have adhesive plastic veneers as toppers.  People only see the top of the bobbin anyways.

I’m glad I bought some camouflage  colored pickup covers before they were discontinued.
