What is it?
The last 15 or 20 years have been a period of remarkable growth for extended-range guitars. From a time when seven-string guitars were a relatively uncommon sight, we now find many mainstream manufacturers’ ranges creaking under the weight of sevens, eights and baritones. To outsiders, it'd perhaps seem a niche market, but social media and the modern metal scene beg to differ – extended-range guitar is big business.
