Actually, one thing is that I think 7's tend to have more resonance overall when compared to 6's, with bolt ons, as there is more surface area between the neck and the body, as well as more mass in the neck overall.

As far as tonality goes, other than that, not much difference to be honest! A 7 can do all the 6 string stuff, and sound like one, but with more options!

6 strings=range that is standard or transposed.

7 strings=extended range, above & beyond that only available on a six.

That's why I went to the 7. I prefer having the additional range available.

A crappy 7 string pup (like a Drop Sonic) will sound the same on the top 6 and then the low B will be a boomy mess. The 6 and 7 string version of the same pickup do not sound the same even if all other factors are equal - they will be close, but there will be an audible difference live. Start recording and producing the sound and they go back to being the same.
Alright, then explain why lots of people use the Drop Sonic with excellent results. Or why I can tune a 6-string down to B and have it sound great.
