Your one stop shop for clarity! We’ve found Arium’s sonic properties to be particularly well suited to bass frequencies, as evidenced by our basses & even our 9 string model. That’s why 080 is perfect for demanding players who want to tune low but still hear every note. Whether you’re tuning to F# or even lower, 080 will faithfully reproduce what you play in that register. You have to hear it for yourself.
Our first multiscale model! 080s was developed to improve the 8 string experience with comfortable treble strings for soloing & clean passages while maintaining a tight & clear low end with an even longer scale length than our traditional 080. You will notice a very balanced sound across the entire fretboard; the notes have a piano-like timbre. Another goal was “sizing down” the feel of the guitar for improved playability – we often hear “it feels like a 7 string!”
We have a dedicated following of incredible 8 string guitarists who we’ve strove to impress all the way back to the original 080 in 2015. H/08 is the logical extension of our 8 string journey, with painstaking steps taken to remove the potential downsides of both 8 string & headless instruments. Rock-solid easy to use hardware, a compact form-fitting body, & the perfect multiscale layout make it easy to express yourself whether you’re playing djent or modern classical.
