7 String Guitar Kits

A 7-string guitar gives you that extra low range that standard 6-string guitars cannot reach. The added seventh string, typically tuned to B below the low E, opens up deep, heavy riffs and extended chord voicings that define modern metal, djent, and progressive music.

Our 7-string guitar kits are designed for players who want extended range without buying a production guitar at a markup. Each kit comes with a wider neck and nut to accommodate the extra string, a body routed for high-output pickups, and hardware sized for 7-string spacing.

Building a 7-string kit is similar to a standard 6-string build with a few extra considerations. The wider neck needs careful setup to get the action even across all seven strings, and intonation takes a bit more patience. But if you have built a 6-string kit before, the skills transfer directly.

Every kit includes a pre-shaped body and neck, 7-string bridge, tuners, pickups, and all electronics. Pick your body style and start building.

Nut Width

A wider nut accommodates seven strings with comfortable spacing, so check that the nut width matches your hand size.

Scale Length

Longer scale lengths (26.5 inches or more) keep the low B string tight and defined, preventing a muddy tone.

Pickup Output

High-output humbuckers are essential for 7-string guitars to keep the low end focused under high gain.

Bridge Type

A fixed bridge is easier to set up and intonate on a 7-string. Tremolo bridges add complexity on extended-range instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 7-string guitar harder to build than a 6-string?

The build process is nearly identical. The main difference is setup: a 7-string needs more careful intonation and truss rod adjustment because of the wider neck and extra string tension. Budget extra time for the final setup.

What tuning does a 7-string guitar use?

Standard 7-string tuning is B-E-A-D-G-B-E, adding a low B below the standard 6-string tuning. Many players also drop the low B to A for even heavier tones.

Can I play regular 6-string songs on a 7-string?

Absolutely. The top six strings are tuned the same as a standard guitar. You just have an extra low string available when you want it. The wider neck takes a short adjustment period, but most players adapt within a week.
