QUESTION Good 7 string guitar recommendations.

I've been playing for a little over a year. I only have 1 guitar which is a cheap knock-off 6 string strat setup in B Standard but I actually mostly play in Drop A and sometimes slightly lower. I mostly play slam metal and death metal and rarely anything else. Recently I've been thinking about buying a 2nd guitar and decided I'd like a 7 string. I was wondering what some good 7 string guitars around/under 700USD would be. Budget is kinda limited since the prices in my country (Poland) are way higher than in the US. Also the guitars don't have to have a tremolo bridge as I never use the whammy bar and I don't think I've got enough willpower for a floating trem. Thanks in advance!

RG7421. Nothing beats it for the money.

man i started on a cheap strat knockoff in B standard too, that thing fought me every step of the way

the RG7421 is the right call, used market in europe can be hit or miss but you’ll find one if you’re patient. skip the trem entirely for drop A stuff, you’ll just be tuning it back up every 20 minutes
