Not to my knowledge. Every 7 string I've ever played that has a 6 string equivilent has the same sized body. They quite often have slightly reshaped cutaways to take account of the slightly wider neck though.

Yeah, I mean, if you look at 7 string bodies, they actually look smaller, because they are typicall six string bodies with wider routes for the bridges, pickups, and neck cavity. At least that's what I notice.

I am developing a 7 string Les Paul that is more high end & to 59 spec I had to move the centreline of the neck alignment to compensate & I widened the inlays
