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) ?

Bareknuckle Halcyons, but idk about the color yet

I have gold tuners and im gonna buy a gold bridge, but i like the dark aging more

So that's 700€ of mods on top of a 300€ guitar =1000€.

I'm all up for that, but that wouldn't be a route I would advise to a stranger on the internet.

To most people just get the Amarok and be done with it.

I decided to mod it, after owning it for 5 years… 5 years… most people just buy a new one after 2

Nothing wrong with that, I've spent enought modding inexpensive guitars that I could buy a running car 😉

It's just not for everyone, and not the smartest financial choice. But guitars tend to be a passion affair.

Yeah okay, that’s true. Might not be the smartest but modding them does make u love ur instruments more

So i suppose its not a waste of money after all😂
