Metal’s Mightiest Guitars at Musicmaker
This is a guitar that thrives in darkness! The Stygian....
There comes a moment in every heavy player’s journey when six strings are no longer enough. The riffs demand more weight. The tunings plunge lower. The music grows darker, thicker. This is the call of the 7-string electric guitar — the weapon of choice for modern metal, djent, prog, doom and every glorious subgenre that thrives on seismic low-end power.
Right now, Musicmaker is absolutely stacked with beastly 7-string guitars from Jet and Spira, and these are not novelty instruments. These are precision-built tools for riff architects, breakdown engineers and soloists who want clarity, aggression and control when the gain is maxed and the tuning is subterranean.
Let us name them. Let us honour them.
Jet Guitars JS-407 MBK R – Matte Black, Pure Intent
The Jet JS-407 MBK R is a no-nonsense declaration of purpose. Finished in menacing matte black, this 7-string looks exactly like it sounds: focused, aggressive and built for heavy music.
A roasted maple neck gives this guitar excellent stability and a fast, broken-in feel right out of the case — crucial when you’re running lower tunings and heavier string gauges. The rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and balance, while the dual humbucker configuration delivers thick rhythm tones with enough articulation to keep extended chords intelligible under high gain.
This is a perfect entry point into the world of 7-strings for metal players who want reliability, comfort and serious tone without compromise.
Meet me at the crossroads and I can show the secrets of this beast.
Spira Guitars S-407 MWH – Satin White, Brutal Elegance
The Spira S-407 MWH proves that heavy guitars don’t have to look brutal to sound brutal. Finished in a striking satin white, this guitar pairs clean aesthetics with savage sonic intent.
Spira are known for building instruments that feel modern and purposeful, and this model is no exception. The roasted maple neck offers exceptional tuning stability and a smooth, fast-playing surface, ideal for technical riffing and rapid-fire lead work. The humbuckers are voiced to handle extreme gain without collapsing into noise, keeping palm-muted riffs tight and percussive.
It’s a metal guitar with poise — perfect for players who want crushing tone and contemporary style in equal measure.
A demon dressed like an angel. The Spira S-407.
Spira Guitars S-457 – Transparent Purple, Extended Range Fury
The Spira S-457 looks like it was dragged from a cosmic void and handed directly to a guitarist with bad intentions. That transparent purple finish is pure theatre — but the real terror lies in the performance.
Built for extended-range domination, this guitar balances a thunderous low B with articulate highs that cut through the mix. The roasted maple neck ensures unwavering tuning stability, even when you’re detuning into oblivion and attacking the strings like they owe you money.
Tonally, this guitar excels at modern metal styles where tight low end and articulate mids are essential. It’s aggressive, responsive and unapologetically heavy.
Guitar, or Gateway? The Spira S-457........
Spira Guitars S-507 QGY E – Trans Grey Precision Machine
The Spira S-507 QGY E is engineered brutality. Finished in trans grey, it looks industrial, deliberate and utterly serious — exactly like the music it was built for.
This guitar is about control under pressure. Extended-range guitars can easily become muddy at low tunings, but this one stays articulate, even when the gain is maxed and the tempo is punishing. Complex chords remain intelligible. Fast runs remain defined.
If you live in the worlds of djent, modern prog, metalcore or technical metal, this is the kind of instrument that lets you execute ideas without fighting your gear.
Hold my hand and let me take you DEEPER!

Jet Guitars JS-507 BK Stygian – The King of Darkness
And then… there is the Stygian.
The Jet JS-507 BK Stygian is the undisputed monarch of this lineup — a 7-string designed with absolute darkness in mind. Finished in satin black, stripped of distraction, this guitar exists for one purpose: to dominate.
With a roasted maple neck, extended-range scale and a brutally effective HH pickup setup, the Stygian delivers thunderous low-end authority while staying shockingly articulate. This is where Jet’s design philosophy truly shines: modern metal performance, stable tuning, fast playability and a feel that inspires confidence the moment you pick it up.
Whether you’re writing downtuned riffs that shake walls or soloing across the full range of the neck, the Stygian responds with power, clarity and menace.
Absolutely without mercy. Merciless, some might say. The Stygian.
Why 7-String Guitars Rule Modern Metal
Seven-string guitars aren’t just about adding one extra low note. They’re about expanding your musical vocabulary. They allow for heavier tunings without sacrificing upper-register clarity, more complex chord shapes, and massive sonic depth that simply isn’t possible on a standard six-string.
For metal players in Ireland searching for 7-string electric guitars, extended-range guitars, Jet guitars, or Spira guitars, this current lineup at Musicmaker is something special. These instruments are built for modern heavy music, designed to perform under pressure, and priced to be genuinely accessible.
