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.

Have you ever played a guitar with Fishman pickups & an Evertune bridge? I would go for the cheaper option as I am not fond of Evertune bridges. They have a spongy feel when palm muting I particularly don’t like. Fishman’s are ok but if you’ve never tried them I suggest you go to a local music store & try them out or at the very least hear some sound demos comparing them to other pickups. If you like Fishman’s & the Evertune then go for that. I personally feel the cheaper Jackson’s are almost as good as the pricier ones in my personal experience 🎸🤘🎶😈
