once i got to the solo lead clips i was quite impressed by your lead playing. I know thats not your main style but the tapping was beautiful and perfectly in time. I’m impressed!
Been playing 5 years and I still have trouble with lead playing (forget writing a solo) it requires a whole different discipline of skills compared to rhythm, riffs and chords. It's easy enough to write good riffs. Good leads are a mystery to me. I know a lot of minor/major and all the modes in different 3 note per string scale shapes, but knowing the scales.. even knowing the theory only goes so far. Writing good melodies is something you can only do with experience. Melodies and leads are also kind of a mystery to music theorist.
Such a sick guitar. The clarity is insane for a 9 string. Other 9 strings I hear usually sound muddy because of how low it is. But this sounds so clear!
This is probably my favorite demo mix I have heard you do. The clean tapping section at the beginning and end where fantastic and where a great contrast to chugs.
As amazing as it sounds, I think I will stick to 8 strings. I was partial to the red raw finish, but now I'm convinced. Red body and black freeboard are the way to go for my next Aristedes order.
1:22 sounds kinda like something I’d hear in a song by Jeff hughell… specifically this one solo from one of his songs known as brief lapse of clarity (I believe)
With it being a 9-string they could easily have made it a 31" on the bass side for better string tension. 9-string guitars are already deep into bass territory so it would be logical to have the same scale length as a short-scale bass.
It still has to be a 9 string guitar not a 4 string bass. I do agree more scale lenght would be good but I play 10s and some people play 9 gauge strings or even 8s. If you make fanfret reasonable with 31 inch bass you would have 28 inch trebble and that could be too much for some people in terms of tension
@@TheGunmac10 The classical baritone scale length for 6-string guitar is 30" so I don't see 31" being too big of a stretch, especially for 9- and 10-string guitars. I've only ever played one eight string guitar, a Ibanez M80 which has a 29.5"(?) scale length, and it still feels a bit slack on the low F# even with a 9-80 set. I'm a bassist though, so I'm used to high string tension 😄 My friend who owns the M80 just received his Per Nilsson signature Strandberg so I'm hoping that I'll get to play that one soon as well 😀
A total beast. Sounds amazing and really makes me think about the benefits of these new materials and construction styles. Keep up the good work being a beacon and driving force bringing us these awesome demonstrations, Andrew.
By that logic I must be a banana then, I share 60% of my genome with those after all! Man, paper is paper, wood is wood. They share some characteristics in terms of chemical composition obviously but that's about it. Wood fibers run mostly parallel, in paper it's all over the place, which makes getting it that thin possible. Composite materials like richlite are way more stable when it comes to thermal expansion/contraction. Any carpenter can tell you how much wood moves in comparison even when roasted or torrefied
That clean riff at 0:58 and 2:34 was one of the most beautiful riffs I've ever heard, what an insane guitar, unfortunately it's *slightly* out of my budget
The lowest string sounded beautiful on clean channel. When distortion kicked in, the low end fell away and I could no longer hear anything very low at all.
I owned an h/06 and sold it for the reasons mentioned. Killer guitar but just didn't think the hardware was quite there yet. I adore my 060rs however, i can restring and play a gig in 5 mins haha
So was Pascal saying the new tuning peg will be able to just swap out for an existing bridge, or at least that's their plan? I LOVE my H/08 and it's the biggest pain point for me as well. Hate having to strip part of the winding just to fit the 8th string in. Everything else is everything I wanted it to be and more.
THEY FINALLY RELEASED THE NEW SADDLESS BROOOOOOO! IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG. Ordered my first build and they'll have the new bridge. Still have to lock the bridge sadly though.. but no more cutting. @andrew baena
Does anyone have some basic setup tips to make the best of the low end? I have a tam10, Is a compressor the missing key to get the low end to stick out clean? And then compressor and noise gate for distortion?
UPD: Oh, it has another output jack. The lower text is my actual feelings, good thing i watched further As i was watching this linkor of guitar, and you, sitting comfortably with it in classical position, on your thighs... I screamed out, WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING, as loud as 2 am could possibly allow me to do so, when i saw the bloody output hole. For the love of god, please tell me, why is the output jack in that place?!?!?!
it sounds amazing but for 3 grand ill never be able to even play one of these fucking things man. 90 percent of us will never hold one of those at that price range lol

Omg this thing sounds insane! I'm a huge fan of the two output jacks, that's such a cool idea.
This is probably my favorite demo mix I have heard you do. The clean tapping section at the beginning and end where fantastic and where a great contrast to chugs.
Make the demo a song or instrumental please. I wanna add it to my Spotify playlist.
The song is called MU, you can find it on my 2019 solo album on all streaming platforms (just sounds a bit diff since it was recorded a few years ago)
@@BaenaCarcosa Got it on my playlist, thanks man.
The demo mix sold me. This guitar is officially god tier. The double output jack is cool af as well
There’s only one absolute unit and it’s my man’s Andrew Baena
Bro that's my favorite demo you've done so far,hits right in the feels
2:20 part sounded super After The Burial-ish to me
This song was def me doing my best ATB impersonation haha

Completely SHREDS @ 6:15!
Nicely done man. Any chance of you using a 9-string now for future material?
I've done a few 9 string songs over the years so probably!
If richlite is made out of paper and resin, why shouldn't it be wood? Paper's made out of wood
Saw this comment coming haha
Richlite doesn't contract like wood tho when it's dry so don't have to worry about those pesky frets sprouting lol
@@n7warlock22 I know, but it's technically still 70% wood

@@bastian4260 you are 70% water but it’s not like I go around drinking humans out of bottles
That was the coolest solo I've ever seen you play.
Niiiiice! Big boy baena crushing the erg demo game once again! They need to give you a green one! 👊💚
Bro so glad you played MU. Love that song!!!
That's is an amazing instrument. Can't believe it sounds so good without wood.
That clean riff at 0:58 and 2:34 was one of the most beautiful riffs I've ever heard, what an insane guitar, unfortunately it's *slightly* out of my budget
That demo riff is so sweet! HUGE After The Burial vibes! This is so sweet!

Looks a bit like a strandberg. Awesome sound🔥
god now i need a 9 string
Wasn't ready for that tappy intro but I'm amazed
Sounds haunting on the clean sound! Great sounds =)

BAENA WITH THE TAPPING?! So cool dude!
You have some of the best 9 string tone I've ever heard! 👌
i really want to know how it feels play a guitar like that

Yeah that’s the plan, the bridge stays the same but you just swap out the “tuning pegs” and locking saddle, if that makes sense
@@BaenaCarcosa can't wait Aristides is always on it.
Legend has it that once upon a time we thought 6-string drop D was heavy...
It still is heavy
@@JNCGaming Yep, it still is heavy! It's my preferred tuning, in fact.
That’s a dope guitar, fire riffs🤘🔥
Does anybody know who's logo that is on the 12th fret?
It’s the inlay they use for their H/0 series
@@BaenaCarcosa interesting choice to have two completely different logos on the fretboard, thanks for the info!
That windbreaker though!
1:25 damn
I've got an H/08 and this video made me want to get an H/09.
THEY FINALLY RELEASED THE NEW SADDLESS BROOOOOOO! IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG. Ordered my first build and they'll have the new bridge. Still have to lock the bridge sadly though.. but no more cutting. @andrew baena
The demo really made me think of Abandoned By Bears
2:12 c# major breakdown
I like
The low end on that sounds soooo good
You feeling okay bro? I noticed you used nearly all the strings? I'm here if you need to talk..... Hahahaha na fukn love it mate 🤘
Mother of pearl inlays ? Great playing and video !
That was one beautiful ass mix my guy 🔥
The tone fucks! What plugin did you use for rhythm tone?
Aristides vs Strandberg: go!
We need an A Wolf Amongst Ravens cover with this guitar
Does anyone have some basic setup tips to make the best of the low end? I have a tam10, Is a compressor the missing key to get the low end to stick out clean? And then compressor and noise gate for distortion?
This is sick dude
bro, was that Mu 無 in the demo? Haven't heard that song in a while ;)
It was! So cool to see that some people remember the song :)
@@BaenaCarcosa yeah, it's been a minute, but it's still a banger ;)
The sound and look of this guitar screams MORE DOOM COVERS lol
What tuning is this?
ARISTIDES 👍🤘
How do you reach, around a neck like this?
I have never seen Andrew tapping
What happens when you use both jacks at the same time?
MORE DJENT, DUH 😂
really got the bluetooth guitar🤩🤩
But does it djent?
might be the djentiest guitar of all time
Well I know what guitar I'm getting next...
clean thall beginning
What a beast!!
The Lowe is strong with this one.
It’s funny because this guitar also reminds me of a sports car
What are the string sizes on the guitar
10-90
@@BaenaCarcosa thank you
"Is richlite wood?"....
Is like saying, "are chicken mcnuggets chicken?"
Anyone wanna tab this for me? That tapping intro was particularly tasty
Tabs are on my Patreon!
@@BaenaCarcosa can I EARN it?
Paper is wood. Js

Ohohoho, that's really something. :)
it has 666 likes, im sorry i wont ruin it but boy did i like the demo of this!
Amazing guitar, but damn is that 9th string floppy as fuck, this thing needs at least something like a .120 there
it sounds amazing but for 3 grand ill never be able to even play one of these fucking things man. 90 percent of us will never hold one of those at that price range lol
Mu 無!!!!!
This video had 420 likes when I watched. I am sorry to say I ruined it by leaving another like. Anyways sick guitar lol. Thing is a fuckin tank.
Dude tf are you doing? I can't afford 9 string right now
9 Strings? Everyday we stray further away from god
God? What god?
But you're gonna get one right? Lol
That guitar is sexier than my gf
Fuuuuuck!!! 🎸💦💦💦
I don't understand the placement of that output jack though. Wtf were they thinking?
There are two output jacks so you can use either.
@@BaenaCarcosa Fair enough lol! Incredibly guitar either way for sure.
