While the 080S model was first developed to cater to the needs of 8 string guitarists, the 060S & 070S were then released to extend those benefits to everyone. You will notice an increased clarity across large chords, better sustain on the low strings, an increased comfort in your fretting hand, & of course more clarity & intonation range when tuning down. Barre chords remain effortless, the lower horn has been adjusted for even further improved fret access, & a custom Hantug tremolo is available in addition to a traditional hardtail bridge as well as the custom Aristides Guitars EverTune.
