7 string single coil

[SturmGeist]

Sort of fantasizing about a 27 fret 7 string, and instead of having an angled humbucker, I was considering a straight single coil.  Not serious about the guitar YET, but would a 7 string Trilogy suite sound good with a nailbomb bridge?

I've actually had a 7-string with a Nailbomb bridge and a Trilogy neck - trust me they sound awesome and suit eachother really well imho. But I still dont think BKP do 7-string single coils yet, so I think you'll have to do what I did which is to send Tim a 7-string single coil for him to re-wind for you.
Funnily enough I've since replaced the Nailbomb with a Riff Raff (I found the NB a bit too hot for me) and the Trilogy works really well with that aswell!

Sounds awesome.  How exactly would you describe the trilogy?  any other pickup it sounds like a better version of?  Haha

Well, hard for me to say because I've played 7-strings for ages and as I'm sure you know, there aren't many 7-string single coils, so it's hard to know what it compares to.
One thing I was surprised about is that the Trilogy still has that real nice single coil character to it. I thought that with it being such high output, it might have lost that, but it still has it. I also have an Irish tour neck pickup in a different guitar and they are more similar than I expected. You can tell that the trilogy is hotter because it overdrives quicker, but they both have a real nice Strat-neck-pickup sound.
If you didnt want to go quite as hot as a Trilogy, you could go for an IT - I had a Warpig with an IT in another guitar and they went together fine aswell.
