Sick demo! 8 strings with the whammy is so cool! Does it have a five way switch?

So I've got a pretty significant .Strandberg* collection and I do love them very much. I'm a headless convert now. lol. What types of things made you want an Aristides over other 9 string guitars? 8 strings are becoming a lot more common place and I have four myself. Never thought about a 9 string for myself actually.

Tuning? Scale lenght??❤

Rings of The Sun

Who knows

We both have the same exact H09. I got mine a couple years ago in bright red, with Lundgren M9s and the arcade switch. You play a shit ton better than me though lol. It's always cool to see how others are using the same guitar I have. This is my absolute favorite guitar. Feels half the weight of my other extended range guitars. Like your experience, my guitar was perfectly in tune upon unboxing. Customer service was amazing. I'll only ever buy Aristides from here on out. Absolutely worth it. Wanting a custom paint one with Active pickups now.

From the Triple drop D vid, Triple drop A next 👀

Dude what is your album? I want to hear it

How in hids name are you intonated with only 11lb of tension on that low A0 lol

Hey long time, no talk. Question regarding guitars. Do you have a general email for fellow musicians & songwriters to get ahold of you? Hope to hear from you soon!

Did you speed up this video a bit?

If Yngwie Malmsteem was in Meshuggah

First one to say…”YES!!!”

You dont need to reach the low strings that high up the fretboard anyways. Youll find the same notes on higher strings.IMO. nice guitar playing tho

Hey im about to order the same model. Is the 29 inch long baritone side enough? Also what does yours weight? Im looking for under or at 7lb

2:35 have the same problem with my Schecter Damien Platinum 9 not sure what the manufacturer thought when they build such things :D probably "yeah they will most likely use the first 5 Frets and thats it" :D

Great mix. A great writer & talent. You are a multi-genre studio vocalists ideal acquaintance. I have 3 slower moving projects, but seek an opportunity to collaborate at this level. Either way, you are awesome and inspiring.

Needs toilet vocals too. If no one has hooked you up yet, I'd be honored to supply this some non-plungeable brown notes

Unsubbed for title, ressubed cuz it was kinda sick

bro made toilet metal & didn't even blast. now that's restraint

So heavy he made #3

This is my opinion aimed at the gear industry, not the player, and is intended to get people thinking about changes to the guitar. To the player: great technique, tone, and video. Low strings interfere with the kick and bass in the mix. Which means I want the strings to go higher, not lower, for more melodic content and less mud in the mix. Guitars need to get into the 6th and 7th octave to match an 88 key piano, not down into the 0 and 1 octave, which can be done simply by detuning and using thicker strings on a standard baritone guitar. I refuse to omit a bass player to make more room for an 8 string guitar player. Rather, I prefer to add 6 or more strings to the bass because I think a bass guitar's timbre is more pleasing on high strings than the tone of an extended range guitar's low strings. I'm thinking more Obscura and less Meshuggah. And I want my guitar to sound like a pitch wheel on a keyboard. So the whammy bar is required because those Randy Rhodes/Alexi Laiho/Slayer tricks are so cool and expressive. But, it's impossible to use floating bridges with a high A string with anything currently on the market. The high A string will break when pulled sharp unless it's a very short scale length. The Dean Rusty Cooley 8 string did have a high A but it was fixed bridge with a 23.5" high A and 25.5" low B. Adding a 9th string with a longer low string would make the fretboard slant even worse. So a multiscale Floyd Rose style bridge needs to be developed. The biggest disadvantage is due to the limitations of the human hand only so much can be done on extended range guitars. You can play any interval on a piano with two hands. On a guitar you are limited by how far your left hand can stretch. Yes you can tap with the right hand but this isn't the same as picking a higher string and each guitar string can only be sounded at one spot. A harpsichord is a better design than an extended range guitar for stringed instruments that can play large intervals simultaneously. Drone notes and tapping/sweeps are not enough to justify an extended range guitar. The lines have to weave in and out of each other in Bachian counterpoint style as *completely independent melodies in different registers.* This can only be done by tracking multiple guitars and basses. A Digitech Whammy pedal will shift everything up, but it is not as easy to use as having a high A string since the pedal has to be set and swept to a specific interval. It is difficult to do this motion quickly on a single note when playing 16ths at 200 bpm in a high register with notes that are large intervals apart. It's easier to just shift the Whammy up a certain interval to play a few beats or bars and then disengage the pedal after that section. And the pedal has that fake harmonized sound with strange auditory artifacts. This is too slow and does not sound as good as having more, higher strings that can be used with a whammy bar. You could extend the fretboard like Michael Angelo Batio did in the 80s, but a 6 done this way extends the scale length, increases string tension, makes vibrato more difficult, rules out a whammy bar, and makes the upper frets very small. You can play super high notes, but good luck getting to them. A longer neck with more frets also forces you to play horizontally across the neck instead of more efficiently across strings. So a longer neck with more frets is a better choice for alternate pickers than for sweepers. *Ultimately, I'm looking for the guitar to become an 88 key keyboard with a pitch wheel capable of going up and down octaves at a time. And adding on more strings isn't making that possible.* The extended range designs are also boring. They are largely dual humbucker Strats with fixed bridges. You won't see Explorers or BC Rich style shapes with these kind of designs unless they are custom ordered. Most current extended range guitars won't even have pickup rings so you can't put a Seymour Duncan Triple Shot on them for more wiring options. Duncan won't even make a Triple Shot for more than 6 strings. So you can't merge all the wiring mods of the traditional Strat world with extended range guitars yet unless you are handy with a drill press and installing a lot of switches. Lastly, you're not going to see a lot of nice accessories on these guitars like Graphtech Ghost systems. Too expensive, too hard to modify given current market demand. Imagine the power of using these kinds of guitars with MIDI samples, low latency, and fast tracking. So at the moment anything beyond 7 strings is not for me. I see them as a one trick pony novelty product aimed at a younger generation of players born after 2000 who grew up on djent and laptop metal and prefer that sound. They also make nice set pieces for Tosin Abasi to play 8 finger tapping and drone notes on at NAMM shows. I need more than that for what extended range luthiers are charging.

This really makes me want to get an 8 string with a trem. Are there any difficulties setting up / using a trem on an 8 compared to, say a 7 or 6 string guitar?

pls tell me this is a song it sounds so sick

HOLY I wasn't expecting such a banger! I'll be eyeing your spotify for sure!

hello fellow arium addict!

I was just browsing for 8 strings but God damn this song is insane

Man, your playing is top notch.

I was scarred to order an 8string multi w/trem, i love my 8 multi but I wondered if the trem version was any good.

Sick B.A. killswitch 😊

Reasons I don’t like to sweep on an 8 string: 1) I can’t sweep 2) I don’t have an 8 string

So sick!

Also, 2:16 !!! Easy fix LFG

You’re the real mvp for taking the time to explain/validate this issue in a way that makes sense to newcomers and casual listeners like myself. Let the record show that the new Northlane is 🔥

For reference during the DAW Analysis the Spotify track I had was after doing the Desktop audio fix. This shows even further that unless you have the File from the band basically...there will still be minor differences. Thanks for watching!

Certified weedly woo classic 🔥

Buddy you left your KRK's on back there lol

Awesome!!!!

How do ya like the Kiesel trem system? If I ever get another build im thinking about trying one

Reminding me of iwrestledabearonce

🥴🥴🥴 very gross

The one important thing to talk about is of course the thing you didn't say anything at all about. lol. I think most people are wondering how the tension is on a trem on an 8 string. A lot of people probably think it will be too stiff versus on a 6 or 7.

Bro…I went through all my subs I haven’t seen in a while and you keep breaking boundaries (obviously passion and the love for music will ALWAYS be the driving force and thing that actually matters) but your platform is way too overlooked. All I have to say is just keep going. \\m//(-_-)\\m//

Wow wow very spicy Michael great work

crazy

The Aristides CEO (Pascal I believe?) also reached out to me a few times over the course of my build. Absolutely incredible customer service.

Awesomeness

I actually wanted to buy a Strandberg Boden Metal NX 8 this year, but this 9-string Aristides would of course be next level.

Congrats bud! Killer riffs as always

looks and sounds freakn incredible
