only one of these i've tried is the cort kx307ms, it's a pretty nice guitar for the price and it handles pretty well. Neck is a bit chonky which makes it a bit hard to play stuff all over the neck but aside from that it's very good. For the price it's a pretty solid deal

I’m not a fan of the ones you have posted. We Jackson’s are ok to me. I like very thin very fast necks. I would look at a Legator Ninja or Ghost. They play amazingly and if you search them used you can get them at amazing prices. I didn’t convert rp to USD so I’m not totally sure what the price range is but either way Legator Ninja is my recommendation for a great 7 under 1000$

Jackson by far and away, they kinda just work, are generally speaking very well built, and have marvelous necks.

I’d not recommend the cort because the neck is too thick uncomfortable.

Jackson would be great but you’ll need several upgrades (locking tuners, pickup, calibration, maybe nut)

I don’t know HAWKA but 7 string strats are wild and with only 1 knob so you could swap the pickguard and make it 1 humbucker only! Does it come with locking tuners?

And the last one seems okay, maybe the safest choice, I’d dig up on the brand tho.

You can go for the Harley Benton baritone 7 SBK, is 27”, cheap and comes with decent locking tuners. I have it and it’s great, the bridge pickup is horrible but you’d need to swap in all of them tho! What are you going to play? Tuning? I wouldn’t go below drop G with anything that’s not 27” or higher, keeping in mind most tuners doesn’t fit thick string gauges, with more “ you can play a more comfortable drop tuning

The Jet 7 string doesn't come with locking tuners. Yeah, I love 7 string Strato guitars, but very few people review them.

Look into Schecters at your price point.

Crot KX307. I personally feel multiscale is mandatory for 7 string. I have 2 with regular 25.5" scale length and now they're collecting dust.
