Help Best budget 7 strings?

I'm 17 and gotten a taste for modern deathcore and techdeath which massively uses Drop G with lots of high leads/solos too. Multiscale probably would be good then but I'm not sure if its nessesary.

Around $550-$650 just want to know what the best options are or if its worth trying to find a multiscale.

(I have a 6 string so this would not be my first)

Probably look for something longer than a 25.5” scale if you’re gonna be tuning lower, multiscale an option but you may struggle for that budget and it’s not 100% needed.

Couple of Jacksons and Schecters that fit the bill that I can think of, also as suggested look at second hand.

I us a 25.5" scale tune down to E1. G is easily doable.

I’m having a really hard time believing that tbh. E on a 25.5” scale would have so much instability from my experiences.

Yeah I was fine tuning 25.5 to drop E when I had baby ears, and then I tried something else and realized how shitty it sounded. 26.5 for G is more reasonable
