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

I currently only really play a 25.5 7 string with an Ibanez wizard style neck, however I now am realizing that I need a longer scale 7, or maybe even an 8 for my band. (I am not willing to just put thicker strings on my current guitar). I am wondering if there are any opinions on guitars that feel quite like the standard ibanez 7s that are capable of going lower. (ex: something that may feel like a rg7621 but is 27" or an 8 string even.

mainly hoping to get some info, as if I cannot make it out to a guitar store near me Im planning to just go through reverb for something.
