How to choose
Consider whether a fixed-scale or multi-scale neck suits your playing before choosing a model.
Beginner
A player new to extended range should start with a standard 7-string such as the Ibanez RG7320EX, since the fixed scale feels closer to a normal guitar neck. Take time adjusting to the wider neck and extra string, and use lighter gauge strings at first to keep bends manageable.
Intermediate
Players comfortable with 7-string range often move to an 8-string like the Ibanez Alpha A528, or try a multi-scale design such as the Cort KX508 for improved tension across the low string. Spend practice time on string skipping and muting, since the extra strings need more right hand control.
Expert
Serious extended-range players look at guitars like the Ibanez Iron Label Xiphos for its fast neck and heavier hardware suited to demanding techniques. Keep intonation and relief checked often, since multi-scale and 8-string necks are more sensitive to setup changes than standard guitars.

About 7 & 8 String Electrics
Seven and eight string electric guitars add extra low strings for heavier riffing and wider chord voicings, popular in metal and progressive styles. Players choose them when standard six string range does not go low enough for their music.
This page includes Ibanez Prestige and Iron Label 7-strings, the Ibanez Alpha 8-string, and the Cort KX508 multi-scale model, which angles the frets for better string tension across the extra range.
