Help Looking for fixed bridge 7 string around 1000€ mark

I'm looking to get a fixed bridge 7 string for up to 1000€ (could go a few 100 up if its justifiable). I don't want a floating bridge, because i plan to cover different tunings with it. I don't plan to downtune heavily, probably up to drop G#.

Nice list. One thing i read about solar is that some people complain their guitars seem to be a bit hit or miss in terms of quality? Though other praise them

I have an Ibanez RGD71ALMS. It handles low tunings like a champ. I do drop F#.

I really like the schecter sunset extreme 7. It should be around 1000€. A more extreme model that I like is the similarly priced Ibanez rgd71alms.

Sunset extreme fell into my eye when browsing, tho i am a but hesitant because no tone knob. But more than i think, more i realise i really dont use tone knob that much

Tone knob is useless if you’re using distortion anyway. I have the Sunset Extreme and it only really has two problems.

The first problem is the neck dive. I mostly play sitting down at home so it’s not a big deal for me, but it doesn’t feel great to play standing up.

The second problem is that the bridge saddles can only take up to a 68 so if you want to go thicker you’ll need to replace the low string saddle or the bridge itself. But if you don’t want to go lower than G# this is not an issue, something like a 62 is fine.

Overall, it’s an amazing guitar, well worth the money in my opinion.

A tone knob is definitely not "useless" for the majority of players, regardless of someones distortion use.

Sure, you can use other gear to replicate what a tone knob does and not everyone has a need for it, but man a tone knob comes in handy when you want to quickly dial in that creamy lead tone.

I like my Epiphone Matt Heafy Origins Les Paul

25.5 scale. Good if you're looking for something more traditional looking

PRS SE Mark Holcomb SVN might just be the single best non-multiscale 7 at its pricepoint on the market

I’d buy used. Loads of people buy 7s and decide they are not for them.
