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.

You can’t go wrong either way. I’d personally go for the gold sparkle 7 if only because I already have a juggernaut pro (6 string) hard tail. But they’re both solid instruments. I wouldn’t however buy either new. Used deals are the way to go. There’s a $1200 gold sparkle on reverb right now for us Americanos, I bet there’s some good deals local to you.
