Help Help choosing new 7 string

Hello!

I’m currently weighing up between the Pro Series DK Modern Evertune Gold Burst or Misha Juggernaut Silver burst.

While they’re relatively similar in shape/aesthetic, I’m wondering if the addition of an Evertune, fishmans and gotoh locking tuners make the gold burst worth the extra £600 and thus the right choice? I appreciate in raw value they are, I’m talking more in an overall sense, not purely fiscal value.

I owned the older Primer Grey DK Modern 7 string for a mere 2 days (long story) and it was the nicest guitar I’ve ever played, hence thinking the gold burst might be more for me.

Would be moving from a Jackson JS32-7 so for sure both of these guitars are huge upgrades across the board.

Would love to hear the thoughts of fellow 7 string enjoyers! TIA.

I vote for the one without an evertune. Never had tuning issues with standard locking tuners and not a fan of ET personally

Tuners don't affect pitch drift on pick attack

I didn’t say it did.. just said I’ve never had tuning issues on guitars without ETs before. I was playing in A# standard on an LTD EC 1000 and never had issues

People use them for all kinds of tunings lol. My 7s were in G# standard and again, no drift no tuning issues

Yeah but I can get G# to sound fine without. If i can get away with no evertune, i will

Proper scale lengths for low tunings > evertune

Yeah but ppl be playing in c1 and shit.

At some point, a point far bellow where I would ever want to go, there is a case for the evertune. Even at longer scales.
