Hello guys, I'm selling my EC-1000 and looking for a new 7 string for recording purposes. I have RG1527 which is absolutely fabulous, but even detuned cents make me not content about recording's quality - and well - I'm a bitch for perfectionism . So things I'm looking for right now are a non tremolo-bridge, lots of stability and passive pickups if possible (but not a dealbreaker).
I remember Keith's and Fred's videos, so my most obvious pick was getting a new VGS Soulmaster 7 and later switching pickups, but I'm actually concerned as I've already read quite a lot of people complaining about getting lemons, not just some minor quality things. So how is it with them?
My other choice was going for a used AW-7 but it might be hard to catch one in good state and price.
oh, and ofc budget is something like 550-800€
