wider/thicker neck. heavier guitar (weight). longer scales. on some guitars, because of the added mass of the body, the sound becomes warmer.

some 7 string guitars dont have the low-b string. instead they have an extra high-e string. there's actually a 7-string acoustic guitar i think made by martin. it has an extra g (its concept was actually to emulate a 12 sting at certain points).

Added bass notes?


another difference? its harder to find replacement pickups for 7 stings here (not unless you order online or have one custom made).

no ibbys. thats new. ibanez became known also for the 7 string specifically the ibanez universe.

weird rin kase. everytime i see or hear of fender 7 strings, it seems to be a squier. its only today i heard about a 7 string fender. fender experts, please supply additional info  :-D

OH I'M HERE!
WELL MR. SRV, I BROWSE MO NALANG UNG SA MUSIC SCHOOL. (GENRE FOR 7-STRING GUITAR) ACTUALLY IT WAS AN EYEOPENER FOR EVERYONE UNTIL THINGS GOT OUT OF HAND.

PERSONALLY I DON'T HATE THE 7'S.  SINABI KO LANG ANG MGA NA-EXPERIENCE KO SA GUITAR NA IYON AND MARAMI ANG NA-DISAPPOINT. AND THEY TOOK IT AGAINST ME PERSONALLY.
AND I'M IN GOOD FAITH ABOUT MY EVALUATION. 

IT'S OK TO BUY ONE IF YOU ALREADY OWN SOME GUITARS.
ANG POINT KO LANG, THIS GUITAR CAN NEVER BE YOUR MAIN GUITAR.

PEACE!

the 6 string guitar vs. 7 string guitar is just like the debate between 4 string vs. 5 string bass...

i for one use to be be vehemently against the 5 string bass (eventhough i own one), since i think unless you tune down and play high note riffs, that low B string doesnt have a purpose.

currently, ive been playing bass for almost a year now (i stopped playing for 5 years or so) ... and im beginning to understand the purpose of the 5 string bass. chops-wise, you know, the part where you show case your technique like alternate picking and slap and pop, the 5 string isnt very effective for someone like me, cause of factors like: entry level yung 5 string bass ko and hindi ako comfortable sa string spacing nya kaya sabit lagi yung mga slap and pop lines ko.

cover song wise, hindi din effective ang 5 string bass saken because yung mga songs i cover dont need to use the lower registers.

but when it comes to original songs ... ive found a purpose for the 5 string... yung B string maganda pala sya i sabay sa open D ng mga dropped-D riffs ng guitar since yung attack sa string nya mas matapang kaya mas lumilitaw yung segregation ng riffs. mas may purpose yung 5 string in a band setting as opposed to playing by yourself.

so, taking my experience, ganun din masabi ko sa 7 string. totoo nga na mas marami kang hindi magawa sa 7 string compared sa 6 string, so you tend to be disappointed kasi hindi mo na magawa yung lightning arpeggio sweeps mo at the same quality and speed, and at the same time, yung mga songs na cover mo, hindi kailangan ng additional range, panggulo pa minsan kasi nasasagi mo yung extra string at sumasabit ka tuloy.

but think of it in a band setting ... paano kung mababa range ng singer nyo? ... instead of taking the song sa key of E, may option ka na i take ang song sa key of D, without using the dropped D tuning,  less hassle on stage, not to mention, mas may darker quality ang song kung nag bar chord ka using the 7th string as a root. or pwede din gumawa ka ng classical finger style picking using the lower octave dun sa B string.

or pwede rin kung sawa ka na sa traditional guitar solo, pwede mo taasan range ng instrument mo, and come up with a fresh sounding solo...

marami talagang possibilities ang 7 string in terms of it working in a band setting... kahit na cover songs nyo mga 6 string lang required... what if 2 guitarist kayo, yung isa naka 7 string and yung isa 6 string... then tugtog kayo ng "symphony of destruction" ... yung isa mag hold ng bar chords sa lower register ng 7 string... im sure magkarun ng ibang quality ang song nyo na hindi kayang gawin ng gadgets like octaver, since after all, iba talaga ang effect ng attack sa thicker strings.

oh well, if you can do everything you want to do on a 7 string, then thats good. i have a 7 string, and i can do things there that  i do on a 6 string... just because di ako marunong mag sweep picking in the first place, heheehehe.... alam ko medyo maninibago ka dito since the neck is fatter and ingat ka hindi sumabit sa 7th string ang sweep lines mo.

anyhow... nice and peaceful here.. thank heavens...  :-)

i would live to have my own 7-string, for jazz perhaps, a semi-hollow type. the extra range is useful, and would encourage more walking basslines. I wouldn't use it for "chug chug" (unless provoked!)

alot of notable jazz guitarists are into it for the extra range.

More is in fact more for the case of the 7 string although it is not something I could probably be comfortable using overnight. There are extreme cases with added strings, Check out Rusty Cooley with his 8-string guitar with fanned frets and theres Phil DeGruy with his Novax. Like anything else, its a tool, and very few have come to surpass the instruments limits if there is such a person regardless of the number of strings he prefers and its typically the player who is limited.

I think the difference between the 7 and 6 string guitars relies on the player. Kung comfortable and satisfied ka na sa tone ng 6 string dats it. But if you like the 7 string way better than the 6 string coz you do lots of stuff sa 7 na hindi mo magawa sa 6 then go for 7. Different guitarist would have different opinion on this but remember its not the difference between 7 and 6 that matter most, its how good you play your guitar (6 or 7 sting or watever).

This is confusing.
There are always two conflicting sides when it comes to the seven string guitar.
According to the defenders of the additional string, it offers additional possibilities..
 This thread could go on and on. And we would like to know the truth.

There's only one way to find out.
I suggest the defenders of the 7 string guitar to post some soundclips to prove the versatilities of the 7-string.

buhayin natin ulit tong topic na 'to.

I saw a 7-string guitar from China FVstevens (i think) being sold right a couple of weeks back sa lyric edsa-shangri-la. Tried it and i agree with the extended range. (seems to fit my fat fingers on the higher frets pretty well too... my problem with most guitars.) My only concern is it seems smaller than the usual, pickups are too high (too near the strings)

Tried using a seven string with a extra high string in C# standard. Fun! Aso lang nakakarinig nung high solo sa extra F# string ko sa taas. hahaha

My two cents.

A lot of metal/prog bands use 6's too but little do we know, they're actually tuned down (wow that's a shocker!).

So for me, a 7 string would be for those songs that are played to as low as "LOW B".

My main guitar is a 7 string. Sometimes I don't use it the low B, and that's fine. I'm used to the guitar either way. I can play with the extra string or without it.

I also have a Fender strat. It really depends on what I'm playing. :D

CHEERS!

good for playing slipnot covers or other metal bands

becasuse they use a drop A tuning

such like: for six string guitars( used by slipknots mostly on theier songs)
A
E
A
D
F#
B

( mahirap baka mapatid kung tataasan ung tono, sabog naman kung bababaan)
so i preffer seven strings for their covers)

for 7 string guitars
A(extra string, dropped from b)
E
A
D
F#(dropped from g)
B
E

as the former states

if you are a virtuoso and you've taken your playing to it's extent on a six string hop on the seven string bandwagon :)

hmmm...

opinion ko ano pagkakaiba ng 7 strings guitar and 6 strings guitar ay...

7 Strings...
since may madadagdag na string (B), di ka na magda-drop tuning para lang sa mabibigat na tugtugan... para din mas kayanin ang mababang tono... na nahihirapan ang 6 strings guitar na abutin...
advisable ang 7 strings sa mga metal, etc. (although pwede rin baguhin ang tuning kong ano preference mo, kasi standard  tuning ng 7 strings ay (e, b, G, D, A, E, B)... mas lalo na kung 8 strings gaya ng Meshuggah! sa isang song nila ang tuning ay F-Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb ... <--- super astig!



*** sana nakatulong ang opinion ko...

MOstly mabigatan tugtugan namin..pero nag si-silverchair din kami...tingin nio ba ok lang kahit may sobrang "B" string?  or may tricks para hindi mag tunog sabit pag tinatamaan 7th string? like tuning 7th string to "E" para parehas sila ng 6th string..what do you think?

ok lang kahit may sobrang string kung mamute mo naman siya pag di kailangan.  :wink: yung sa tuning bahala ka naman kung anong gusto mo basta swak sa yo.  :-)
