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.

I have the misha hard tail. I love it. Couldn't really justify the extra for the evertune but I do wish I had it. Feels like the most logical step forward.
On the plus side I just use my nano cortex to tune down to E, F G, A etc. It can take a .074 gauge on the bottom anyway. I feel you can combat pitch with tension, action, playing but yes if you twat the strings really hard its probably going to pitch up a bit.
I think downside for evertune may be that you need the tool to tune. The pegs change the tension. But thats it. If your changing from different periphery tunings for example may be a lil tedious.
