This provides a more rounded feel for chords and rhythm playing lower down the neck while creating a flatter surface for faster lead work and bending higher up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e26.5-inch scale length\u003c\/strong\u003e is another particularly important part of the JS22-7 specification. The additional length helps maintain tension and definition on the low B string without making the upper six strings feel excessively heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePickups \u0026amp;

voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned with heavier styles in mind, they deliver plenty of output and attack while maintaining the definition necessary to prevent the extended low register from becoming indistinct under gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the other end of the strings sits Jackson's fixed \u003cstrong\u003eHT7 bridge with string-through-body construction\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe absence of a tremolo makes setup and alternate tuning considerably more straightforward while providing excellent tuning stability, making the JS22-7 particularly approachable for someone entering the world of seven-string guitars for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRestoration \u0026amp;
