What are 7 and 8-string guitars used for? 

If you’re after a great balance of traditional and modern design that gives you the best of lower and higher notes, low B and high E, the 7-string guitars are the go-to choice. With the single additional string, you won’t need much adjustment from the standard 6-string guitar. 

What are 9 string guitars good for?

If you don’t mind the needed time for adjustment to more advanced techniques of playing with two or three additional strings, then you can try out the 8 or 9-string guitars. The 8-string option is great for offering even more lower range, in addition to the standard one, whereas the 9-string alternative is ideal if you want to make the most of both guitar and bass, with the incredible depth it’s designed for.
