I'm looking for companies that produce high quality 7- and 8-string guitars with more understated aesthetics.

To each their own, but the whole "extreme" aesthetic that so many headless guitars have is not my jam... and there are so many.

I know about Omne but they're still not quite what I'm looking for (I really dislike what I can only describe as exposed grain finishes).

I really just want a 7-string salen jazz strandberg but it doesn't seem like they'll ever make one.

EDIT:

Here's an example of what I mean by "understated": https://i.imgur.com/DJT0Nuf.png

Here's one with a nice body shape (don't like the burst finish or the pickguard though, and this is also discontinued): https://i.imgur.com/agKxdZw.png

And here are some examples of what I mean by "extreme":

Currently using ATH-M50xBT2 headphones for playing guitar in my apartment, but the cable is too short and the jack is recessed in a small hole so other cables don't fit.

Here's the product page with all the specs, but the specs I'm interested in matching are the impedance and sensitivity (38 ohms, 99 db/mW).

Obviously I don't need to perfectly match these specs but I do want to be in the ballpark of 30-45 ohms, and at least 98 db/mW and preferably higher.

Budget is less than $300.

Another really bad bug in my first week using Qobuz. Sharing music is like... a fundamental feature for any modern music app.

Here's a link to a song: https://open.qobuz.com/track/399263630

Clicking this link loads a webpage with a button labeled "Listen on Qobuz" that when clicked will open your desktop app, which results in a 404 inside the app: https://i.imgur.com/aAdC90Q.png

Clicking "retry" also doesn't do anything and the back button also breaks.
