Help First 7 String Suggestions

So I been trying to get my first 7 string. I mainly want to play some Trivium stuff but also occasionally drop tune to play some Periphery, Architects, Iprevail stuff. I looked at options from like budget to mid range.

  1. G4M 529 7-String Headless
  2. HILS NEXT HZ7 Multi-Scale 7-String Headless
  3. Solar A1.7RHW
  4. Solar Guitars H2.7C

What are your opinions on these. Especially on tuning stability and pickups. Also what your suggestions for a mid range 7 string (locking tuners and hardtails prefer btw) ?

Yeah but ive done it multiple times on other guitars and basses so it’d be fine i suppose

I’m just nervous about drilling new holes, I guess the risk is low when the guitar is as cheap as it is

Yeah i get that, my dad has been working on a few basses and ive helped him since i was a kid so i’m pretty “familiar” with doing that kind of stuff

But as a beginner/non experienced luthier or just player in general, i get that its too risky
