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.

View full detailsA wider nut accommodates seven strings with comfortable spacing, so check that the nut width matches your hand size.
Longer scale lengths (26.5 inches or more) keep the low B string tight and defined, preventing a muddy tone.
High-output humbuckers are essential for 7-string guitars to keep the low end focused under high gain.
A fixed bridge is easier to set up and intonate on a 7-string. Tremolo bridges add complexity on extended-range instruments.
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.
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.
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.
