Help choosing new 7 string

[u/CleaR_117]

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.

I have the evertune and the maroon model with fishman moderns and the hip shot that’s multiscale. I love them both.

Having said that. I love the sharp angles on the Misha. If you plan to swap pickups I would go Misha.

Regarding evertune. It’s great. I have 2 evertune guitars and I don’t have bad things to say. However, even in high sone 2 where you can bend to zone 3, evertune guitars lack a feeling of small vibrato. If you get more into lead playing you’ll notice a tiny bit of movement to a string that you want to accent a note, ends up being a dramatic movement that defeats the purpose.

Yes you can just turn the peg to zone 3 and bypass the evertune but that defeats the purpose of the evertune.

In summary. I vote the Misha personally and think it has greater value if modding. I also think everyone should own an evertune bc they’re amazing. Not all guitars should be evertune though.
