Sorry to not actually help, but I think you'd be better of mailing DiMarzio and asking. I think that would be quicker (since there probably aren't many of us who have 7-strings at all, and even fewer with DiMarzios in them), but I'm just guessing.

I have a Tone Zone 7 at home I am getting ready to install....let me see if I can' whip up a little diagram this evening. Most, if not all, Dimarzio's 7 string pups have a flat bottom. So for direct mounting, no need to route deeper for the mounting "ears" or tabs.

I wouldn't take the height in that drawing as Gospel, I've seen Dimarzio 6 string pickups with different Bobbin Heights. Steve's Special vs. Air Norton for example. The steve's special has a way taller Bobbin Measure your pickup to make sure of the height but the rest of the drawing looks ok to me

every Dimarzio i have is 17mm from top to the bottom of the base plate

sure would be nice if all the numbuckers were make with flat wings.... would make routing a hell of alot easier :D anyone know where i can get some replacement baseplates?

monkyboy777, THANX for the drawing and dims, man!

So, to sum this up:

I'll be putting ToneZone 7 & AirNorton 7 in my project ax. They will be direct-mounted.

If I understood correctly, dimensions vary from model to model. What about 6-string versions? Do they need deeper routing for the ears?

do You have an Air Norton and a Steve's Special? if you do, then measure again I think you'll be surprised

only a steve's special, it's 17 mm too, unless you're including the polepeices sticking out the bottom? Which i plan to either cut off and/or drill a series of little holes for.. so i'm not counting those for routing depth's..

ooooh smaller... i think the original paf's are thinner too, it's like 14mm

the dimarzio Breed model is also 14mm thick not including the screws sticking out from the bottom
