Good old Alex Gregory. What a pompous ass. I had the misfortune of encountering him at NAMM, back in the 80's IIRC. I looked at the 7 string Strat and said who's Alex Gregory. Next thing I hear was "That's MY signature Strat. I'm an AHHHTIST." He was pissed that I didn't know who he was. NOBODY knew who he was. Total dick. I think he may be the reason Fender doesn't do 7 string Strats, something about legal crap, but I don't know for sure.
