H/0 Headless Series Aristides guitars push boundaries to create truly new designs that benefits guitarists playing & creativity. Headless guitars provided a huge opportunity to innovate & apply both the strengths of Dutch craftsmanship & Ariums unique material properties to a fast-growing style of guitar with a dedicated fanbase that wants the best. A true modern ergonomic guitar needs to leverage 3 things: an idealized ergonomic headless guitar design, skilled luthiers to build it to the highest standards, & a material that goes beyond the sonic & material limitations of wood. Thats why H/0 models feature carefully-designed multiscale fretboards & balanced bodies, proprietary hardtail & tremolo bridges built with Hantag Gutiars, & an extreme tonal clarity that even led to the development of H/09, the premier high-performance 9-string guitar. When a guitar is lightweight, portable, stays in tune, doesnt cause fatigue during long playing sessions, has an explosive tone that jumps out at you, & provides a balanced feel across the entire fretboard: youre empowered to focus on your new song, your big show, & simply experiencing the joy of guitar.

H/09 is a total passion project. After our headless series debuted, we received an increasing number of requests from friends & artists for a 9 string. It was a daunting task there are a lot of challenges with 9 string guitars! Can we really create a balanced & usable 9 string? Will anyone buy it? Our design team took it as a challenge & we could not be more proud of the results. Feedback on the H/09 has been fabulous, & hearing the huge range of music being made on them in the wild is inspiring. H/09 is a must-try if youre looking to push the boundaries of your creativity while keeping your instrument versatile & comfortable in all registers.

Body and Neck Material: Aristides proprietary construction method provides huge tonal, durability, & consistency benefits not available elsewhere. This process was developed over years of R&D to comprise of a rigid exoskeleton with a resonant core; the result being reminiscent of chambered guitars. Our luthiers spend 8 hours carefully layering topcoat, glass fibre, carbon, & more in a custom mold to create the exoskeleton before carefully & evenly distributing Arium throughout for our desired tonal characteristics. After the body is acoustically tested, weighed, & approved, it is cured twice in a heated chamber for tone & durability. Of course, at this point all we have is the beginning of a guitar. This is our wood.
