darren wilson Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Building a 7-string is exactly like building a 6-string, only a little wider. You can make it any scale length you want. 25.5" works well, and you can easily get fretting templates for that scale. But some 7-string players prefer going to 27" scale in order to get better low-end definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
