I am not really good at these recommendations, but a price window might be helpful to the guys who know this stuff.

I have intense GAS for 7 strings from these brands: RAN, REK, Jaden Rose...The lost goes on. Unfortunately, it will take a long time until I can afford one of those guitars...

For your price range I'd say Bernie Rico. But bare in mind I've not had my hands on one but you seem to get a lot for your money. Though the waiting times I hear are getting a bit ridiculous now

Where do you live?
You could get a fairly custom shop piece for that amount of money

Isn't there only two decibel guitars been made so far?

You have a lot of choice at that price so probably helps if you work out exactly what specifications you are looking for.

I'd like to get in on this topic too.  I have started to look around for a "decent-enough" 7-string.
I live in the US, and price range would be about $1,000 - $1,500 USD.

Any other suggestions?

I like Ibanez guitars... The Prestige models are good quality, and are pretty standard 7 string guitars.

OP: I would recommend going to sevenstring.org and having a look at all the GAS threads... There are many very nice guitars out there for $3000, and I cannot recommend any as I have never played anything that expensive. However, it will give you an idea what is out there and what is meant to be good. You could also consider going semi/fully custom to get a guitar to your specs.
