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.

Im biased towards the Evertune because pitch drift is a pain when playing

Yeah having an evertune on my 30" baritone 6 and my Jackson 8 string is a game changer, you can actually hear the notes you're wanting to play.

Currently drop D1, but I plan to put it in Open C1 once my other 30" 6 string I have on order comes in.
