@MatthewKay@musician.social totally understand; I can recommend finding a used Kiesel on Reverb if it has all the specs you want, but that still might be more than comparable budget
I don’t have any direct experience but the only other brand I’ve heard of to mention is Hils — I was looking at their headless 5 string bass but didn’t think I’d actually use a bass. 7 string guitar model: https://hilsamerica.com/the-instruments/p/the-next-hz7-headless-seven-string-wt5c7
Edit: if you can try the Legator in person and verify the neck is good+straight, there’s no finish blemishes and no high frets or buzzing, then maybe go for it! Otherwise it’s always caveat emptor.

@mathias@metalhead.club That guitar seems right up my alley! I see that company also has models with the Fishman Flounce pickups. I wonder if they would add those to that guitar. That would still be in my price range. Thank you for the tip! I live in a rural area so hands on experience with non mainstream gear might be difficult. Might be worth a try to call around to a few of the nearby towns’ shops.
