More Range, More Riff — Explore 7-String Electric Guitars at AMS

Looking to go lower without giving up your lead? A 7-string electric guitar opens up a whole new layer of creative potential. That one extra string adds depth, power, and versatility — perfect for drop-tuned chugs, expanded chords, or melodic runs that would leave a standard six-string gasping for air.

At American Musical Supply, we’ve got a lineup of 7-string guitars that’s stacked with options for players who want more. From shred-ready models with blazing-fast necks to sleek, modern designs, there’s something here for every style — metal, prog, jazz, and beyond. And, you’ll find names you trust: Ibanez, Schecter, ESP, Sterling by Music Man, and more. Ready to step into a lower dimension? Your next 7-string electric is waiting.

What to Look for in a 7-String Electric Guitar

If you’re shopping for your first 7-string electric, here’s what actually matters and what to look for: 

  • Scale Length: Longer scale lengths (26.5" or more) help keep that low B string (or whatever drop-tune you’re running) tight and clear. Shorter scales are easier on the hands but can get floppy fast if you’re tuning down.
  • Neck Profile & Comfort: Seven-string necks are naturally wider, but some brands (like Ibanez and Schecter) offer slim, fast necks that still feel natural. If you’re coming from a 6-string, this can make the transition way smoother.
  • Bridge Type: Fixed bridges offer rock-solid tuning and are great for rhythm-heavy players. But if you prefer wild bends and divebombs, some come equipped with double-locking trem systems.

Popular 7-String Guitars You Might Want to Check Out

From tight low-end riffage to extended solo runs with room to breathe, these 7-string electric guitars are the top picks for players who want more range without giving up speed, tone, or feel. Each brings something different to the table — so whether you’re a first-time seven-stringer or already living in drop-A, you’re in good hands.

Ibanez RG7421 7-String Electric Guitar

This one’s a staple — and for good reason. The RG7421 offers Ibanez’s signature speed and playability with a Wizard II-7 neck that’s slim, fast, and smooth. The Quantum pickups offer crisp response and excellent bass handling, making it a solid choice for everything from prog-metal to djent. With a hardtail bridge and simple controls, it's an all-performance machine.

Schecter Demon 7 7-String Electric Guitar

Built for brutality, the Demon 7 features Schecter’s Diamond Active pickups, pumping out searing highs and tight lows ideal for modern metal tones. A thin-C neck profile and 24 jumbo frets keep things playable even when you're deep in riff territory. With gothic inlays and a satin black finish, it’s got the look and the punch.

PRS SE Mark Holcomb SVN 7-String Electric Guitar

A player-designed model from one of prog metal’s finest. The Holcomb SVN features a 26.5" scale for improved tuning stability, a beveled maple top for comfort, and Mark’s custom-voiced Seymour Duncan Alpha/Omega pickups for full-spectrum tone. From articulate cleans to high-gain leads, this guitar stays sharp no matter what you throw at it.

Chapman ML17 Pro Modern 7-String Electric Guitar

A more boutique vibe, but still all about performance. The ML17 Pro features a carved top, roasted maple neck and fingerboard, stainless steel frets, and a powerful dual-humbucker setup with coil-splitting options. It’s a killer pick for players who want tonal flexibility without sacrificing the aggressive punch a 7-string guitar is known for.

Schecter Synyster Gates 7 Headless Electric Guitar

The future has officially arrived. The Synyster 7 Headless offers ergonomic playability with its light body and balanced neck feel. Features like the Sustainiac pickup system (for infinite sustain) and ultra-modern hardware make it stage-ready and studio-tight. For players who like flash and function.

Unleash Your Fury With the Strandberg Boden Prog Nx 7-String Guitar

Want to hear what a high-performance 7-string electric guitar is really capable of? Check out this quick video for an up-close look (and listen) at the Strandberg Boden Prog NX 7 — a next-gen guitar built for comfort, speed, and seriously ferocious tone. 

7-Strings Are for More Than Just Metal

Sure, 7-string guitars have earned their place in prog and metal — but their range and flexibility make them a secret weapon in a ton of other genres, too. 

  • In jazz, that low B string opens up extended chord voicings and deeper walking bass lines, perfect for players who want to keep things harmonically rich without a bassist.
  • In fusion and instrumental rock, the seventh string adds more melodic range and lets you explore wider intervals without jumping all over the fretboard.
  • Even in ambient or experimental pop, a 7-string can create lush textures, low drones, and layered arrangements that sound fuller with fewer instruments.

7-string electrics aren't just great tools for shredders. They're a whole new canvas for creative players.

Frequently Asked Questions: 7-String Electric Guitars

Want more in-depth knowledge about 7-string guitars? Check out the answers to our most frequently asked questions below.  

Can I play standard 6-string songs on a 7-string guitar?

Absolutely. Just ignore the lowest string and everything else is in familiar territory. Bonus: Once you're comfortable, you can start adding your own low-end twists to classic riffs.

What gauge strings are best for 7-string electric guitars?

A common set might be .009–.062 or .010–.064, depending on tuning and tension preference. If you’re tuning down or hitting the low B hard, consider a slightly heavier gauge to keep things tight.

Is a 7-string electric guitar good for beginners?

It can be! If you're comfortable with a slightly wider neck and willing to take your time with the extra string, it’s a great way to future-proof your playing. Some beginners even prefer starting on a 7 to avoid having to “upgrade” later.

Take the Leap — Your 7-String Electric Guitar Awaits

Whether you’re dropping into new tunings, expanding your chord shapes, or just ready to shake things up, a 7-string electric guitar opens the door to a whole new way of playing. AMS has the gear, the brands, and the flexible payment plans to make it easy. So go ahead — add that low B. You’ve earned it.
