About ESP 7 String Guitars

ESP 7 String Guitars are an extremely popular choice for guitarists wanting to achieve a lower sound from an extended range. Most will have a scale length of 27" allowing for excellent tuning stability while compensating for the lower B string. Some ESP 7 string guitars benefit from features such as a roasted maple fingerboard or a mahogany body with a flamed maple top. Left handed options are also available as well as many E-II and LTD models. The EC, MH and TE all feature in the line up of ESP 7 String Guitars meaning there is something available to suit many different preferences. If you play heavy music or want to experiment with lower sounds then ESP 7 String Guitars are a great way of doing exactly that.

ESP 7 string guitars are an extremely popular choice for metal players. ESP are one of the premier brands for heavy styles. They make a wide range of guitar styles with 7 strings. Popular models include the 'EC' Eclipse style and the 'SC' signature models of the Deftones' Stephen Carpenter.
