7 String GAS!!

I have always wanted a 7 string guitar since i dunno when. I guess the GAS started when I was younger listening to Nevermore, Dream Theater and KoЯn. I never knew they were using 7 string guitars (because of the lack of sources in the country and also none of the people around me are also aware of this) I think it started only around i think end of 90's that I started to hear about 7 strings and I remember watching an VHS in '98 a video about KoЯn (I think it was called Who Then Now) and I paused on some angle where I would count the tuning pegs of their guitars.

So, I only started playing guitar when I was 13 and then only got my 1st electric guitar years later. So, a 7 string guitar is a no no because it is hard to find and to have it ordered would cost a lot more. I remember some local bands started to use 7 string during local gigs and I was so frustrated (or maybe jealous) because I can't afford that. My 1st guitar was a tele which is the Squier Telecaster Custom and funnily the 1st thing you owned kinda affect your decision afterwards. I remember GASSING crazily about Ibanez 7 string guitars and even when trying to find my 1st guitar I was looking for an Ibanez and what affect my decision? My dad. I tried out several RGs and decided to get the RG27SP (2004 Limited) 

 Ibanez RG27SP

but then my dad told me "But, that's not a Fender". So, I went and tried out several Fenders and Squiers and finally settled with the Tele. The reason I'm writing about this is until now I never stop GASSING for a TELECASTER or a STRATOCASTER or in other way a traditional shape guitar by Fender. I was looking around in the internet sometime ago and realizes that Squier did produce their own 7 string and till now I'm trying to look around for the SQUIER STRATOCASTER VII

Let me make it clear why this is kinda like my total 7 string GAS. 1st is it features the traditional strat shape. 2nd is it's gonna be modified and with specs like this it will totally be a piece of cake. 3rd is it features a hardtail bridge. 4th is it's damn cheap but still top notch quality. I never liked tremolo because of the inconveniences in tuning, string change, and without double locking and locking tuners it'll get out of tune like a bitch. Don't get me wrong I do still have other GAS towards other 7 string guitars. But this one is gonna be on top of the list. Below are others that I would love to have but would definitely burn a darn big hole in my pocket.

ESP Stef T-7 (Sexy Tele Shape)

Schecter Chris Garza (Again Tele Shape)

Ibanez UV7BK (This one I don't have to explain)

Ibanez APEX100 (It has the Strat vibe to it and has Dimarzio pups PERIOD)

Agile T-7 (It's affordable but stupidly not available for Malaysian Market)
