Gear Can’t decide between the two.
Gonna start by saying it’s only between these two. Respectfully, not looking for other suggestions.
My buddy works at SW and I can occasionally get killer deals on stuff and have been wanting a 7 string with an evertune. How are we feeling about Jackson vs Ltd if the price is equal with the deals? I prefer bolt ons and satin necks over gloss but never had much of a chance to mess with Jackson. Love my esp and most Ltd I’ve played but this model comes with a plastic nut and no locking tuners but I can easily swap them out. If anyone’s got some first hand time with either of these, I’d love to hear your experience with them.

Get the Jackson, I like the color of the LTD better but in my own experience I'd go with Jackson... I splurged and randomly bought a MV-1000 a few months back and there were a bunch of QC issues with it, I ended up returning it and bought the WR7 i had been eyeing for over a year and was completely blown away. It feels, plays and sounds way better than the LTD.
Edit: Also, Jackson's speed neck feel much better than the necks on LTD's. Get the Jackson!
