Hey everyone! Coming off a strat here, I'm looking to buy a new 7-string to play music that I actually listen to and want to write namely djent and metalcore. The options I have that fit my budget are;

1. Cort KX507 MS Pale Moon

2. Cort KX707 Evertune Open Pore Black

3. Schecter Reaper-7 Multiscale Satin Charcoal Burst

4. Legator G7FSS Ghost 7 Super Shred Black Flame headless multi-scale

I tried the Legator and really liked the ergonomics of the headless setup and the multiscale frets but I felt like the QC on the guitar was bit lacking.

Unfortunately before I could try the others, they were sold at the local store.

Would you recommend any of these guitars? What has been your experience playing them?

Edit: Clarified why I couldn't try the other 3 guitars at the store.

Hi all!

I currently have a Canyon Grizl 5 Al with a Shimano cues 1x10, 11-48T groupset.

The shifter is U6030 with a RD-U6000 derailleur and LG300-10 cassette

It's been working great but the biggest problem for me is that the gear ratio spacing can be quite large which affects my cadence and I end up unable to pace myself effectively.

It essentially feels like there's a sprocket missing in between the 4th and 5th or 5th and 6th sprocket.

So I decided to change the sprocket to a LG400-11, 11 speed 11-50T cassette.

The problem is I can't find any information at all about whether this is possible and if it is possible, what I need to do for it and what components I would need to change.

I found this document (https://si.shimano.com/pdfs/cues/technical-assets/CUES\_Technical\_Documents\_LC\_SHB\_COMP\_00.pdf) about the compatibility of the CUES groupset but it is really vague and I am even more confused than before.

My question is, is it smart to shift to a 11 speed cassette, is it possible to do it with my groupset and if it is, what do I need to do for it?
