Frequently Asked Questions about 7 String Guitar Strings

Question: What strings does a 7 string guitar have?
7 string guitars have the same nickel plated steel strings that you’d expect to find on a 6 string guitar, but with an added low B string above your E string. This is great for a wide range of music styles but you’re most likely to see a 7 string guitar in heavier genres such as metal and hardcore.
Question: What gauge strings are on 7 string guitars?
7 string guitars typically come with gauge 10-56 strings as standard, though 9-52 is a popular alternative. Players who use drop-tunings such as Drop-A tuning will want to use 10-62 gauge strings.
Question: How often should I change my 7 string guitar strings?
You should change your strings every 1-3 months, depending on how often you play. Certain brands have string sets with special coating designed to increase the lifespan of your strings.
