7-String Guitar Cases: Sizing for Extended-Range Guitars

7-string guitars are longer and wider than standard 6-strings. Their cases need specific sizing to fit properly.

What fits a 7-string

Most 7-strings run 25.5-27 in scale and up to 40 in total length. The headstock is wider with 7 tuners — check headstock pocket fit.

Case options

  • Hard case: protection for shipping and touring.
  • Padded bag: lighter for daily carry.
  • Semi-hard: middle ground for gigging.

What to check

  • Interior length — headstock to endpin.
  • Lower bout width — wider bodies need wider cradles.
  • Headstock pocket depth for 7 tuners.
