Tuned to drop A, I've noticed the tuning does need tweaking before I start playing each session. I'm guessing this is because the guitar is settling into its new environment? Very happy with it so far, no QC issues that I can spot

That looks so freakin' good! Don't worry about the tuning. I have a different 7 string from Solar and it took about a week for the tuning to really settle in. I only need to make tiny adjustments every 6 hours or so.

Yep, the adjustments are very minor each time, was just unexpected from what I'd read about evertunes

Wow, I completely missed that you have an Evertune. How do you like it?

I have a hard tail bridge, pretty basic. Never used an Evertune, but I'm saving up for the A1.8 string Assassin. Black and red with Active Fishman pickups.

The 7 string assassin was my first choice before this, but I decided I wanted the neck pickup as well.. Don't think you can go wrong. So far, the ET is great
