Gearank Recommendation
The Jackson JS22-7 DKA HT Archtop appeared on our recommended list for 7 String Electric Guitars from July 2021 until July 2022 when it was removed due to a lack of availability.
Overview
The Jackson JS22-7 DKA HT Archtop 7 is an affordable 7 string guitar with a slightly longer 26.5″ Scale length for better tension and stability for lower tunings.
It features a bolt on maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods as well as a compound radius rosewood fretboard for better playability down low and no risk of fretting out big bends up top.
Pickups are Jackson high output humbucking pickups with a 3-way selector switch, 1 volume and 1 tone knob.
Looking for an affordable 7 string with a stable neck and solid feel (with the right setup)? The JS22-7 DKA HT Archtop 7 is a great gateway to extended range instruments.
